MALE SHOEGAZE posted:oh another like, super duper important thing: learning to write unit testable code. this is maybe the most important skill to have for your average CRUD app developer. it's a huge topic that i certainly cannot do justice but the takeaway is: write code in a way that makes it easy to unit test. now you have tests, and also it turns out that most methods for writing unit testable code are also good practices in general. The Art Of Unit Testing is really, really good

what's the least poo poo document db. there's no common data model to normalize to because the only people capable of coming up with one think that just taking the union of every property they could ever conceivably care about constitutes data modeling. i have been fighting this fight for a year, i'm giving up. so what's the least poo poo document db. e: wait i can just dump garbage into a sql server column, maybe that's the least bad option raminasi fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Feb 21, 2019 |

Aramoro posted:This is very deeply linked data so it's not just deleting the parent record but also all the links. We have a utility that does it. Main problem is say you execute the SQL to delete a modest 20 records. It takes 5 mins and locks the tables so renders the application unusable. This is ungood. this is exactly our situation, minus the "really really old" part. it was just designed by someone with two thumbs who'd never done real schema design before (so i'm blaming my management). i can delete 2k rows from the primary table and it balloons to like 500k total rows affected

Corla Plankun posted:how many times has this behavior made your job easier? i literally could not function without a comprehensible history graph, especially when prototyping new stuff. like this is not too uncommon: - ok i need to create feature X - that's gonna require refactor A, let me do that - hm this is really two refactors, let me split it into A and B (shuffle commits around) - ok now let me actually do X - hm looks like i need some more stuff in A, let me update it (shuffle commits around) - you know the "right" way to do B is slightly more involved and will touch some other systems, let me do that too (shuffle commits around) - gently caress gotta update some packages (shuffle commits around) - sweet now i can finish X if i'm not juggling my personal history, i have to open a PR with all this poo poo in one big unreviewable pile of garbage, and then either squash-merge into one big bang commit that does multiple entirely different things, or normal-merge some history that's completely useless for a blame or a bisect. or i can open multiple, separate PRs, one after the other, each which is reviewable on its own merits, as a smaller unit of work.

prisoner of waffles posted:go lets you write methods for a type that can work even if the instance is null. this is definitely weird and will just seem wrong to most, but I think it's part of why they have that (incredibly dumb imo) "null of one type doesn't equal null of another type" proto-c# did this and they changed it because it was confusing

today a coworker and i found deep the bowels of our company’s codebase a thing that somehow wraps an IEnumerable and lets you modify it while you’re iterating it. we closed the source file before trying to discover how or why it exists to avoid suffering brain damage. i also learned that we have an OperationsLegacyModule and a LegacyOperationsModule that are presumably different somehow.
