Flobbster posted:Objective-C has had this so-called "monkeypatching"/extension methods for about 100 years now in the form of categories, and it's about time other languages like C# have decided that it's a feature worth having. I thought the whole deal with "monkeypatching" was overriding existing methods. So for example, if I want to change String.length() to always return 42 or rand() or something I can do it and make it a horrible mess to debug whenever that library is included. I work in a language with the constructs "is also" and "is only". So if you've declared a structure and I want to add to it, it's as easy as saying "your_struct is also {...};" If I want to blow it out entirely and replace it, it's "your_struct is only {...};" Same with functions, objects, anything. I can just attach another file and go change everything. The runtime debugger builds up all the code and figures out the also's/only's, it's one of the only ways to see what the hell is actually included and running. edit: I forgot "is first". "is also" adds to the end of whatever was there before, "is first" adds to the top. JawnV6 fucked around with this message at 12:55 on Aug 31, 2008 |

Even if she does improve her coding style the comments will still be there which is unfair to her if potential employers google her in the future. The response blog seems much more brand-damaging than the square peg haters.

Novo posted:I hear this all the time, and yet vim purists act like it's everyone else who can't adapt to unfamiliar things. My current IDE literally does not have options to move around in the code like vim provides by default. It's not a matter of I can't get used to it, it's that the IDE offers no support for the thing I wanted to do and I have to go without. As a trivial example, in vim * will search for the current word in the same file. Shift-F12 does something similar and comes up with every instance of that variable across the project, a half step up even. But vim also has %, which finds the matching brace for the one under the cursor, and VS simply doesn't have an equivalent.

You can go too far off that end as well, you know the type of programmer who went from perl to php to ruby to rails to django to flask to python to never learning how to do one thing well, just how to tweak the language/framework du jour. I can see how a constrained environment that had already been burned on tooling once would eschew it. All it takes is another debug that root-causes to an error in the mnemonics that takes a day or two to sour on the whole proposition.

Pilsner posted:Again, I don't see a problem with doing checkins the strict way, I just don't think it's worth the effort for me, nor do any of my colleagues ever miss it. I'm all for reacting to smells and annoyances, but there just aren't really any in our company with regards to source control, in spite of the old fashioned way we do things. It's really weird to see this all phrased in terms of "effort" because jfc you typed out 20 commit's worth of messages defending doing it the lovely way, which you weren't presumably paid to do. Nobody's sitting there at the machine limit of efficiency. We're all somewhere at the 5-10% mark in terms of how much code could actually be wrung out of us. Typing two sentences about your state of mind once a feature is zero effort amortized across a project. If you're just using version control to make safe checkpoints once a day, no poo poo you never look back at them. You don't have a reason to since they're worthless apart from giant fuckoff failures. You're also not, as Desert Rose pointed out, doing small one-off experimental builds with the confidence that you can back it all out quickly.
