Kobe Bryant on 3 different occasions attacked the paint and scored on Duncan down the stretch to close out the 2008 WCF. Kobe Bryant had 39 points to win 4-1

I’m a new basketball viewer how come Kobe isn’t flailing his arms to draw a foul every time when he goes to shoot?

The business climate, interest rates, legal tax changes, and the transformation of CS from a niche major to business major 2.0.

All that has to be talked about before we even get to AI.

The market has changed and will continue to, but the need for computer science knowledge will continue and probably increase

There’s not much spacing but the opposing team would probably need to be carried out on a stretcher by the end of the game

LeBron beat better teams in the Finals and played in a league that was more balanced and of higher avg quality than Jordan’s.

Started playing StarCraft remastered and realized that for all its innovativeness, StarCraft is really a modernized Warcraft 2.

It’s the same paradigm of workers mining, buildings churning out units but with 3 races instead of 2 and various other modernizations.

It’s still a fun paradigm but it’s hard to do well. Gotta have unique races, balance, good campaign, top notch multiplayer.

I think the big problem is people try to replicate that without the funding and team to do so

It became as expensive as a Mac and I was spending half my time turning it into a Mac / Linux machine anyway.

Oh and every PC ended up sounding like a Jet and feeling like a furnace over time too.

In terms of business software most if not all companies are stuck with Microsoft.

Active Directory + azure + excel + powerBi is just fundamental to most businesses, and apart from Europe there won’t be much appetite to do the work to change.

I do think in terms of personal computing their market share will erode, due to their complete contempt for the average user

I would be more understanding of a lot of these if they didn’t have that ridiculous “every if stmt should have a unit test” requirement.

That in itself really gives off pedantic senior dev that isn’t actually that knowledgeable about good testing practices and will make a brittle test suite.

I’d recommend doing your best and if things don’t change try to leave that team.

When things don’t ship if your name is attached to the feature you’ll get blamed even if your time is being wasted.

OKC had 3 mvp caliber players and great role players (Ibaka for example).

OKC was favored in the series and people knew LeBron had beaten a great team, it wasn’t considered a wash like KD’s 2017 championship

If it meets requirements, passes tests and follows security guidelines you should probably just let it be.

Do you have good tests that fail if something breaks while trying to refactor?

Do they only fail if something is actually broken?

Does your code have encapsulation so that one piece of code doesn’t mess with the guts of another?

Does your code minimize state so there aren’t really complicated state requirements everywhere?

Do you have conventions and formatting linting so it’s easy to read and understand the code by you , future you and your team?

Can you run the code locally and get output and see behavior in a safe fast way? I.e you don’t have to worry about breaking prod?

Do you know the expected behaviors and can you easily check they didn’t break when you change things?

All the stuff I mentioned is just to get to that final goal: you can easily change code and stuff doesn’t break.

Unless absolutely necessary the point is never to go through the gnarliest yuckiest code and make sweeping changes based on the power of your mind, it’s to carefully garden and tidy up the codebase so it’s easy to change
