It can point you in a direction, for sure, but sometimes you find out much later that it’s a dead-end.

I would whole-heartedly recommend Robert Martin’s clean coding lecture series. It may be many hours of your life, but it is free on youtube and well worth the time. I don’t exactly recall what he says about testing in his lectures, but it’s probably pretty close. If nothing else, it will teach you to critically consider programming structure in the abstract (instead of following formulae), and to write code with the intent for it to be read and maintained by humans.
I think he also has a series that includes “structured programming” (like early return vs deep nesting), but was unable to find it last time I looked for it. I recall having a shocked epiphany when he (i THINK it was Martin) demonstrated the exact way to clean up a function, that started out ugly, and ended up being reduced to literally nothing (the function was removed).
I was going to post something to CL a month or two ago, but was shunned away by new & intrusive PII collection… seemed offensive and discordant with the original spirit of CL, and I ended up “nope’n out” instead. RIP another internet era/icon.
Apparently no-one wants to write unit tests, but I enjoy it, do it well, and even find it relaxing.
I’m always confused by my peer’s reluctance and grumbling thereabout, and horrified to see the incomprehensible mess of (often useless) tests they produce in the end.
I’m convinced that Linux’ mere presence has already stymied the development of the worst possible technocractic nightmare. I shudder to think of the thick tech-chains that would bind us if there was not an anchor/reference point… or if there was not even the small contingent that knows what it is like to use a liberating platform.
This is how conspiracy theories ought to work. Perfectly fine to raise a question, and dismissed when you get the answer. Absent is the rampant speculation and unfounded claims.
Maybe minix? Because microkernel.
You might look into mind-mapping software like gingko, nulis, minder, vym, etc.
Sounds ripe for a legal challenge, but neo-ownership of digital-goods is already so fragile.
Remember when it was just grandma that did not understand satire sites?
AFAIK, TPMs are usually socketed.
Is this like a vampire thing, where once you invite 'em in they never leave?
There are no ints in the void, only… death…
The fewer places print checks, the more each one is busy. Also probably still very common for businesses.
Laughs in perpetual fallback version punctuated with a hearty community edition.
Is she… squatting? With her… erm… weiner hanging down?
I think it’d say something about no Makefile present.
This is the experience of a senior developer using genai. A junior or non-dev might not leave the “AI is magic” high until they have a repo full of garbage that doesn’t work.
