May he have itchy toenails.

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

I’m really appreciating your use of &c.

Are you in the nineteenth century by any chance?

Yet.

As IPv4 blocks get scarcer and ISP’s get more customers, they’ll all eventually have to move to IPv4 CGNAT.

And that’s completely fine for most people.

If you’re not one of those people, then IPv6 is your saviour.

I use IPv6 at home, I selected my last few ISP’s because they had IPv6. Left one ISP when they removed IPv6 🤦‍♂️ .

If you can choose ISP choose one that offers IPv6 and let them know why.

We probably have slightly different work processes.

I’m more likely to be making “foo” functionally complete and then making “bar” complete than I am to be making all my dialogs functional then all my tabs/whatever.

This comes from TDD where I’m making a test pass for “foo”, once done, I’ll do the same for “bar”.

Though it’s even more likely these are different files entirely, rendering the arguments moot.

Depends on the language’s constraints, but yes: more smaller files please!

Meh, a class is just a struct of function pointers.

That’s because they are romance languages. They come from Latin where word order is irrelevant as each “word” has a different form for the specific use.

That’s actually filtering not sorting.

That being said, it’s more valuable (to me) to be able to find all my things for a topic quickly rather than type.

Foo_dialog

Foo_action

Foo_map

Bar_dialog

Bar_action

Bar_map

Is superior IMHO.

It came over the wire as text! How did you turn it into that?

Gold.

I just DI all the time, it’s called a constructor.

Urgh. I just sicked in my mouth.

Die in a hole DI frameworks.

I already have an injection ‘framework’ it’s called a constructor. I already have a factory it’s called new

Yo dawg, I heard you like XML over HTTP so I put XML over HTTP in your XML over HTTP.

Thank you that’s a brilliant explanation.

Re-reading the headline, the second phrase starts with an implicit “your” too. Just to make it more confusing ;-)

That contraction upsets me on some base level.

Ooh, the thinest of bezels: none.

Poorly worded on my part.

They fully bought into the idea of the man-month without realising it was mythical.
