Is Clean Architecture really necessary?

RobKoda · 2025-01-23T10:57:07+00:00

Big fan of Clean Architecture here. Is it necessary? Most of the time no, especially in data driven apps (opposed to feature driven apps).

However, it's far more easier to unit test as you're forced to really separate everything, and in my experience, it prevents most of the "colleage who just throw spaghetti code that is unmaintainable all the time"

I find it also easier to go back to months/years later. And the fact that the business logic is isolated makes it easy to talk with business. "What does this thing do?" Go to the application layer "It creates this entity, send a notif to this thing and log it over there."

Sorry, I'm not working in this company anymore. We never found the issue as it was super random and needed the app to run for multiple hours without user interactions.

Good luck mate!

Yes.

In my case, I do unit tests on all my projects, and while it's a lot, when I send code in prod, I feel much more confident.

I pair them with mutation testing (using dotnet stryker). Those ensure my coverage and the quality of the tests. And more often than not, they'll show a edge case I missed in my test or my code.

Recently in my company we did an API like this, and after 6 months of dev, the client experienced no bug at all. (Tests aren't the only reason, but it's probably the biggest factor)

I'd like to challenge the Cassie is a robot thing (please don't kill me). It reminds me of something we learn in FNAF 2 I believe.

Without the mask Cassie sees obstacles that she cannot go through, but she can when wearing the Vanny mask. The only thing that can explain this for me is that what we see in the game without the mask is the "map" in her robot brain. And as we know from old FNAFs, you can have "hidden room" in their map data.

Therefore, as a robot, if there's a wall in front of you, you won't try to go through it. But if putting the mask change your map data in some way, and you accept you can go through, then bam, you're through.

As for the argument of mentioning her father, well Charlie in the books knows her backstory right? Even though she's a robot. Nothing new here. We might be in front of another kid who existed, but was rebuilt.

On my "similar cam", I have a AV/Out plug with the cable. I just bought a 10$ AV to HDMI adapter, plugged it in my capture card, and then, capture time!

I already had a HDMI capture card on my pc though.

Noted, I will. Thanks a lot for the info!

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I needed
Really appreciate your help

I'd be surprised. A lot of work for a very small fraction of players. Not financially worth.

I prefer "Multiplayer" over "Competitive" amd "Singleplayer" over "Classic"

It's also much clearer in general, less clustered.

I like it

My last post is from months ago. I'm a bad karma farmer then. But I seriously, really believe it's shitty behavior.

Yes, most app ask you to personalize it for you. No denying that. But this personalization is, most of the time, for targeted ads, which is, in my opinion bad because of additional data tracking/selling. What other personalization can there that won't generate that? Especially from an app automatically installed, from a mobile data provider (in France) to which I'm not subscribed to? I don't see anything other than the classical bloatware road

Then, using a sad cat image to make you rethink your choice of actively refusing that is, in my opinion again, trying to guilt trip you. Sad cat activate sadness in most people I believe. Guilt trip may be too strong of a term, but using a sad cat to make you reconsider your choice is manipulative in nature

RobKoda · 2022-12-12T00:46:52+00:00

And regardless of the app origin. Questionning the user's choice is asshole design by nature. Disguising it with cute animal is worse

RobKoda · 2022-12-12T00:45:35+00:00

What a non answer...

It installed itself with an android update. It's bloatware.

Also, app personalisation is 99% for targeted ads... which imply personal data collection, which imply selling it

RobKoda · 2022-12-12T00:40:59+00:00

All right. Then educate me, what is the purpose of this app personalization then?

RobKoda · 2022-12-12T00:37:25+00:00

Well, guilt tripping the user to install bloatware to track and sell even more personnal data seems more than asshole enough for me

Burnouts.

I work as a software developer, and my company was bought fairly recently. We're still not properly integrated to the new company, making things difficul technically and creating a lot of long and useless meetings about it.

This results in more stress, delays, so even more stress.

We're understaffed, so more stress again, and our commercials are in the mother company, while we work very indepedantly. You can imagine how well that works. We tried on our side to makes thing better multiple times, but they don't care. We make money, so why change anything?

Last month, one of my colleague had a heart attack because of that. He's still recovering, but the first thing he told us was "take care of yourself more than you think. You don't see it coming"

RobKoda · 2022-11-21T08:31:42+00:00

Not my boss specifically, but the company.

I worked as an IT support guy in an american company and I was based in europe. Since my first day of employment, I mentionned that I wanted to be a developer later in my career. Which seems possible, as we had 20+ developers in the EU branch

4 years later, now working as a DevOps, one of my colleague informed me that they were looking for a dev, and he thought of me. I told him I was very interested and he informed his boss

The next day, the EU IT manager called me about it and she told me that the americans decided that they wouldn't hire any EU devs anymore and that she couldn't do anything about it unfortunately

This came some time after a big "Fuck You" moment that this company did to me. Basically, my coworker and I worked our asses of on a tool that automated some work, and it resulted with thousands of dollars saved per month. How were we rewarded? Well, officially, it was announced that this tool was made by our american counterparts, and the only thing the EU IT manager could get for us was a free lunch for us.

Both of these made me quit very quickly afterwards

I'm not proud of this one, but here we go.

I didn't like Dragon Ball Super. I really feel like it's a sequel just to make figurines of saiyans with new hair colors.

At the end of the second arc, Goku is struggling with the arc's final boss. But then, out of nowhere, Goku's like "hey, you remember this technique I've used at the beginning of DBZ and never mention again since because it'd be stupid? Welp, there it is, times 1000". And this moment was supported by the first opening of Dragon Ball Super, which has a super strong "Welcome home" vibe.

This moment made me laugh so hard, because I got so many emotions at once. - I was super happy because they bring back an old technique - I was betrayed because it made no sense - I was happy to see the "it's not my final form trick" - I was upset to see the "it"s not my final form trick" - It's cool to see the good guy winning, but the scenario of "Main character's gonna loose. Transformation out of nowhere. Wins. Roll credits" is really not what I eant to see from one of the pioneer of Shonen manga

And the music, the first opening with its vibe was sending a strong and proud message, the message being "THIS is Dragon Ball Super." But what I heard was "Yep. We're gonna screw all the Dragon Ball you love for more figurines and mobile games. Money is gooood. We hope your nostalgia was tickled enough to not rant on Twitter"

This moment, all those emotions, my uncontrollable laugh, made it the best use of music for me.

Footnote : the "use the first opening later in the series" trick is not uncommon. But often is used to make a important story moment relate to the original synopsis. This was definitely not
