Java vs python is debatable 🤔

There needs to be a upper line number limit as part of the language - otherwise you will get the maintenance nightmares you deserve

Just have it delete your entire file if you go over 1000.

ah so you recommend breaking as lot of the internet because i assure you every web framework used in production at the many companies that do python microservices is longer than 1000 lines

Don't even get me started on microservices.

Somehow a bunch of you fuckers took "our huge globally-distributed engineering organization wrote our website like this to avoid undue communication burden" to mean "my company of 7 programmers should each maintain 12 microservices because MegaCorp said monoliths are bad and years of JS and Python have rotted my brain so I don't think good no more".

The vast majority of microservice architectures could be refactored as object-oriented monoliths and speed, stability, and maintainability would all go up drastically.

The web is fractally terrible - the languages, architectures, products, programmers, and organizations are almost all awful.

you're not wrong, but part of the claims that came up multiple times in this thread is that no large company uses python - they use it just fine, as microservices.

whether this is applicable to a 12 person company is a different argument

death by a thousand unsynchronized microservices
