  • get rid of companies making money off the FOSS

    I’m afraid if we discourage companies from adopting open source we’ll end up with even more closed source garbage.

    There are industry sectors where closed source is the norm, and it just leads to more vendor lock-in and less standardization and interop.

    I’m a bit young to say for sure, but I believe closed source was the norm in the software world 20-30 years ago and openness was stigmatized. I certainly don’t want to live in that world.

    1. Keep Commits Small: Ensure commits are small and manageable to facilitate easy reverts and debugging.
    2. Continuous Refactoring: Prioritize frequent, minor refactorings to simplify future changes.
    3. Deploy Continuously: Regularly deploy code to ensure it works in production, as working software is progress.
    4. Trust Frameworks: Avoid over-testing framework capabilities; focus on application-specific logic.
    5. Create Independent Modules: Place functions in new modules if they don’t fit existing ones, preserving code organization.
    6. Write Tests Early: Use tests to design APIs and guide development, but don’t be rigid about TDD.
    7. Avoid Duplication: Prevent repeated code by abstracting similar implementations after copying once.
    8. Embrace Change: Accept and adapt to evolving designs, understanding that change is intrinsic to software development.
    9. Manage Technical Debt: Focus on minimizing immediate blockers and plan for potential future issues.
    10. Prioritize Testability: Ensure that your code and design facilitate easy testing to maintain code quality and coverage.

    False dichotomy. Optional braces are bad practice because they mislead the programmer that is adding an additional clause to the block.

    This misleading behavior wouldn’t happen in Python, as it would either be invalid syntax, or it would be part of the block.

    Indentation problems are pretty obvious to the reader. Even more than missing or unbalanced braces.
