A code review full of sarcasm and vague critiques is like giving someone a broken compass and saying “you’ll figure it out.”

Clarity > cleverness.

If you want better code, offer better feedback. Precision, kindness, and context go further than snark ever will.

🚀 Oh, the humanity! 🤦‍♂️ Another day, another attempt to convince us that pairing #Rust and #TypeScript will solve all of web development's existential crises. Meanwhile, GitHub's AI overlord serenades us with promises of "better code," as if sprinkling some magic AI dust will finally make our spaghetti code al dente. 🍝🙄

Behold, the penny-pincher's guide to creating a "Backend-as-a-Service" without spending a dime 💰—because why pay for reliable services like Firebase when you can cobble together something that's "similar" 😂. Apparently, GitHub's new #AI will help you write "better" code, because it turns out, even bottom-of-the-barrel #BaaS needs some quality control 🙃.

Ah yes, the groundbreaking revelation that code should be understandable without a PhD in #cryptography 🧠🔍. Congratulations, you've just reinvented the art of not writing spaghetti code, we’re all saved! 🍝✨

Plugin UX isn’t just about UI—it starts with the code.

If devs are fighting your plugin architecture, your users will feel it too. Good DX = better UX. Here’s why it matters 👇

Messy code hides complexity. Clean code reveals it. Well-written code exposes patterns—and patterns scale.

🚀 Breaking news: #Microsoft decides to let everyone peek under the hood of their #AI sidekick in VS Code, because who doesn't want to see how the sausage is made? 🍖 They must think we're all just dying to write "better" code with AI help, as if our own spaghetti code wasn't enough of a masterpiece already. 🙄

🔍 VSCan: Because who doesn’t want *another* tool to tell them their beloved #VSCode #extensions are sketchy? 🙄 Just input the extension name, wait for the "analysis" progress, and voilà—feel the smug satisfaction of knowing your code editor might be slightly less of a dumpster fire. 🚒✨

Defensive programming isn't pessimistic—it's realistic. Anticipating how your code will break is a sign of experience, not cynicism.

Just read the Google Cloud incident report from last week’s outage
Turns out… they missed a null check, and it took down almost the entire platform.
Let this be your reminder:
Unit tests matter.
Do your tests. Save your cloud.

Apparently there are no good #gcc tools to find unnecessary header includes in #CPP while using ninja/cmake (and NOTE not being the author of the build system)

...

A lot of you guys are #programmers what's the right tool here?

I don't need something that complains about every external include not found, just local symbols without having to recompile everything.

EDIT: Good Answers everyone!

Sometimes, shipping means stepping back and cleaning house. Refactoring and optimizing today to pave the way for smarter calculators tomorrow.

Every time I get into doing some code, I get sucked into refactoring another part of Inkscape's ancient past.

The problem is; I have an artists eye for code design and ugly, overly complex, under-tested and worse than all of those asymmetric code makes me all itchy.

Tonight's refactoring: No, version strings should not be parsed and saved by some weird third party function.
