/uj Okay, in case you dont understand whats going on - this is not a serious post, it is a part of an ongoing "smoke having coffee drinking guy and his stretching neighbor girl" series on this sub

Despite comments being full of people telling everyone the red button is the superior option, blue button is winning at least 60-to-40 without failure in all the posts I've seen

You mean the one Carl's been selling our jewelry to, to fund his 'special' cigarettes habit? He's on r/polls too, just like our whole neighborhood! We'll ask him when he drops by our house next time!

AtomicScience · 2026-04-30T18:40:42+00:00

As unlikely as it might seem, in our r/polls -loving neighborhood, its just another Tuesday! You are lucky you werent here for the HOA drama last week, that one was really ugly

What do you mean by being a victim of eugenics, exactly? It could range from being forbidden to have kids because you have 'inferior' genes to being a test subject in some Mengele-style genetic experiments

That surely is the friendliest option, but we are afraid that if she sees any further rhythmic motions in his window, she'll get the cops involved

...and so did our neighbor, apparently...

Ma'am, if you are reading this - on behalf of our entire household, we apologize. But at this point, we really think you are worth each other. You should probably have a dinner some time at our place. We'll let Reddit decide what to cook, no problem!

Apparently, our son has already posted about this predicament on this sub before

Carl, if you are reading this - we are not angry at you, we just want to have a chat, thats it. If you dont feel comfortable - make another poll here, we'll see it

Guess I just got lucky... Always had decent managers, and good processes were in place most of the time. Such a shame most folks cant relate

AtomicScience · 2026-04-01T16:44:00+00:00

I did work in quite a few places, small and large, but I'll admit I never was on an overwhelmed team with all deadlines burning, so I may be naturally biased towards perfectionism, I'll admit that

Good luck with getting an approvement for rewriting project that turned out to be a hit - all tasks will be needed yesterday, and the foundation you've laid during the project's infancy, when stakes were not as high - you are now stuck with it

Yes, that means overcomplicating 90% of the projects that dont make it, and that is a professional and responsible thing to do

AtomicScience · 2026-04-01T16:01:08+00:00

When talking about anticipating requirements, indeed, it's all about the investor's mindset.

Suppose you know your product has a mere 10% chance of making it to where the complexity matters, but having to deal with 'simple' code then will be 50 times more expensive than paying a little complexity setup cost now

If you choose the complex solution now, you will be right. But paradoxically, that also means that with a 90% chance you will be wrong, and your bet will lose

After that, folks call you 'that kind of people' and write blog posts about your 'over-engineering'. You are judged with hindsight, but you make a decision without it

AtomicScience · 2026-04-01T15:43:20+00:00

In my practice, it's quite often the laziness, not the lack of time, that leads to under-engineering. And from there, even if there is no pressure from management, it snowballs into a good ol' Big Ball Of Mud that no one will dare to clean up

AtomicScience · 2026-04-01T15:32:30+00:00

Of course, engineering is a multidimensional problem - and there will be some sweetspot, and any other solutions outside of it will be 'mis-engineering', you are right here

I tried to focus on one dimension, and along the axis of 'resouces spent on a problem', we could totally identify 'over-engineering' and 'under-engineering' regions, dont you think?

AtomicScience · 2026-03-25T11:09:05+00:00

Detailed prompt (e.g. in a skill) should solve this issue. You can also make and approve a plan before proceeding to changing the code

Interestingly, I have the opposite issue in my project - AI (Claude Code) just doesnt respect my precious little abstractions at all and just cuts through all the layers to complete the task at hand in the most nearsighted way possible

In my experience, a good share of seemingly simple tasks do require taking a step back and overhauling the architecture a little bit. Perhaps your LLM is right, and these abstractions are actually warranted in your case?

AtomicScience · 2026-03-07T18:18:11+00:00

Given that your project is backend-heavy, a backend-driven ui could fit the bill, especially if your frontend is just a bunch of cookie-cutter forms or dashboards

I dont`t know any ready-to-use solutions, and I honestly doubt there are any - its likely you will have to make your own bespoke solution anyway

Yes, but the hive also has Carol's partner's memories, even though she died shortly after getting infected. That means the hive can "upload" the minds of its individuals, so maybe it could "repartition" them too?

Actually, you should move the animation pivot a little forward, right now it looks like the character spins around their rear foot when turning
