CPColin posted:cjs: Handling a corner case where a user logs in, but isn't in the vendor's database, so the API call to get their details returns null. Can't figure out why my "if (vendorId == null)" check isn't working. Turns out our code "handles" this situation by creating a fake, empty user details object with the ID set to "-NONE-". I just got rid of that empty object altogether and everything works fine. are you sure there's not some other component that will break when it receives null instead of a fake user object

TheFluff posted:the first programming thing i learned was regular expressions. i was 9 or 10 years old at the time - my dad taught me. to this day i maintain that it really wasn't a bad place to start thinking abstractly about a single symbol being a representation of some other set of symbols. i didn't learn anything about state machines until over a decade later though. that's not terrible as long as you don't get stuck thinking "this is how the syntax should look for all things always" much like any other thing you learn first

mystes posted:I wish they had described this as being for "visualization" or something. I ignored it when I saw a link to it yesterday or the day before because when I saw "analytics" I assumed it was for analyzing website traffic or ads or something. I guess maybe I'm not sure what "analytics" actually means? analytics is basically synonymous with data analysis, but your assumption is understandable since the term is so ubiquitous in seo and digital marketing gotta use the fifty-cent words if you wanna call yourself a growth hacker

gonadic io posted:At my old job I made the mistake of rushing things without unit tests and presenting it as an option. Not making that mistake again imo that's the #1 argument for using ci and writing unit tests first. more for the benefit of bureaucracy than the development process itself if you tell management the feature works but you haven't written unit tests yet, they might tell you to skip it if you tell them the build is broken, they'll panic and give it top priority

Arcsech posted:very often production software is complex enough that you can’t hold every execution path in your head at once, and interactions between components are the source of way more problems than bugs within a single function/class/whatever. integration tests help but you’ll never cover every scenario it me i got real lucky with one of my current projects when it comes to debugging. it's composed in a way that i can write throwaway scripts to reproduce internal bugs. then i can turn the script into a spec and run it through a debugger while i fix it unsurprisingly, none of my other projects make it that easy

imagine some 12-year-old who's "good with computers" (i.e., has a twitter) decides to learn programming. he spends six weeks studying online courses. 3 weeks on html/css, 2 weeks on javascript, and 1 week learning how to use jekyll. the entirety of his experience is writing pokemon fan pages that have never been hosted anywhere besides his own laptop. i mean good for him, and i hope he's having fun learning and all, but thanks to some conference promoter with an undiagnosed concussion, this kid gets invited to make a tedx talk about the future of web development, and he only has one hour to prepare. the presentation he would make is "jamstack"

DONT THREAD ON ME posted:like it's good when your framework exposes a controller class and you can inherit the controller class and use and it automatically knows how to do the things a controller should do. the controller class is a good example. ime inheritance works better if it's shallow, even if it's wide; e.g., a handful of classes that directly extend a single superclass. if your inheritance tree is ten levels deep, it's probably fragile interface implementation seems closer to composition than inheritance

Aramoro posted:Why would you not have test coverage for something like that? I mean sure if you're a terrible programmer your usage of inheritance is going to suck, but then so is your composition. Someone breaking subtype B fixing a bug in Subtype A without even testing it is awful and will gently caress up your codebase no matter what you do. i don't wanna call anyone out because maybe what i inferred is not what they meant, but in a very general sense, some people seem to think type safety precludes testing, and HOLY poo poo are they wrong
