I’ve been rallying against clever code for years!

Sure, it makes you have less lines for your l33t code solutions, but in the real world, it sacrifices the maintainability of code that others will eventually work on.

Between a clever 1 line fix and maintainable 10 line fix, I’ll choose the 10 line every time.

Yeah, that tracks.

At work someone estimated adding a section of static content to a page that uses React as 3 story points.

They were searching for components that would style the header and paragraph elements just as they wanted them, but were coming up short.

Instead I simply added it with html elements and a couple of lines of CSS.

5 minutes. Done.

😐

Yeah, it’s kinda wild.

Roku channels are created using 2 proprietary languages, BrightScript and SceneGraph. You will never use them for anything other than creating Roku channels. 😐

You’re very welcome! I’ve since left the Roku team (I’m still on a few other teams) to work on my own client.

If you’re interested, it’s called viv and is available in the Roku channel store.

And since this is a programming community, here’s the source code: https://github.com/1hitsong/viv

I’m still trying to learn this. It bugs me knowing someone has some problem with me, yet won’t tell me what it is. It’s the not knowing why that kills me.

That I’m on a computer programming all day for my job.

That I’m on a computer programming all night for fun.

That I rarely play video games anymore.

The sound of flip flops. Drives me up a wall!

Anyone? Anyone? Raised or lowered? Anyone? Anyone know what this is?

Redeemed! Thank you very much. I’m excited to check it out.

I’m interested. Sounds like a neat game.

I deleted my Reddit account during the blackouts and haven’t gone back.

Yeah he was.

I have Little Monsters to thank for introducing me to Talking Heads. I hear Road to Nowhere and I’m 10 again.

And at night you can visit the monster world under your bed to play with Maurice and Boy.

I’ve always followed the rule of 1 car length for every 10 miles per hour you’re going.

Do I get to drink from the firehose?

Walking distance is only part of this equation.

We have no sidewalks and I would need to cross a 6 lane interstate if I were to go to the “closest” anything.

Ahh hehures oh ah ha ye heen. Ahh hehures oh ah ha ye heen.

HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!
