Kicking them out might not mean instant homelessness, they can get a job before leaving the house, crash on a friends couch.

However they're at a much greater risk of becoming homeless.

> a dependency injection system is then necessary in order to have the correct concrete implementations set up at runtime.

Dependency injection can be as simple as:

    class Printer:
      def run(self):
        print("hello world")
    
    class Caller:
      def __init__(self, printer_class=Printer):
        self.printer = printer_class()

      def doit(self):
        self.printer.run()

In your tests all you have to do is pass a different object to your Caller class. No need to mess with factories, interfaces or Impl suffixes.

If the point is just having simpler testability and making dependencies more explicit, this gets the job done.

And since Python is a dynamic language, you can use this with stdlib classes too, so it solves your first complaint.

I've seen it a lot in Ruby and C# lately.

It's not that hard to understand.

A lot of people on Hacker News gets extremely upset when some site or institution decides to censor genocide advocacy, racism, or anything at all.

Funny thing: I've also heard the opposite complaint from a lot of people!

But it's true, most people really go to Tinder expecting only dating and one night stands.

However, when you're upfront and tell guys you want to settle down you're filtering them, so I guess it's working as intended?

Maybe putting that info in your profile would make it harder to get matches, but at least you'll won't have bad surprises.

EDIT: Another choice is to just keep quiet during dates and probe the guys subtly. Works for some people.

Regarding #1 and #2, I think it's even worse: there are lots of "auto swipe" apps that swipe right on everyone. It's a common hack for guys to buy Tinder Premium, swipe right on everyone in sight and then choose from the match pool.

Tinder is a super lazy product, terrible even. I wouldn't be surprised if they're optimizing for a high number of matches and happy with that outcome.

Funny thing is, asking twice a day doesn't even make sense for the manager...

Of course, it relieves stress and stuff, but if you're THAT stressed because of the project and need constant reassurance from the engineers, you're clearly in the wrong job.

I had to lead a few engineering teams (wasn't a PM, though) and the only approach that ever worked for me was to check things out in much larger intervals, a week, sometimes even more. Actually treat engineers like adults and be an adult yourself. Let them come to you if they have a problem. Sample the progress in much larger intervals in order to reduce noise.

Micromanagement doesn't do any good for anyone.

It's alright. I had great experiences with pairing when it wasn't forced on me and I had autonomy.

IME anyone is able to pair, given the right conditions and being paired with the right person.

However, it's like therapy: being forced to do it instead of doing it by yourself will result in a terrible experience.

I've been in such a team.

Pairing was optional, but the team chose to do it, so everyone on the team had to do it.

It wasn't "forced" because I "always had the option to quit the job".

It was hell.

I had all three of the things you described. But let me add a new one to the list that was incredibly frustrating:

4. Instead of integration tests (or static typing), all systems made by a couple programmers only had unit tests. The call boundary was NEVER tested, and everything relied on RSpec's "allow(obj).to receive" mocking.

So, not only it was very difficult to refactor (because I had to change two or more different sets of tests + mocks), the tests for dependencies didn't fail when I changed function signatures, or even if I removed chunks of code randomly. I had to find which test to change by myself.

In the end we had tests and we had coverage, but they didn't test anything properly and made maintenance a major pain in the ass.

> I then deleted my post, and re-posted a text-only status with the same message and asking people to Google for the donation link. Within 1 hour, 25+ sad reactions and friends donating. Victims got helped, because I removed the link.

That's funny, in my LinkedIn circle people have been doing this for more than a year, even marketing people recommend putting the link in a reply... apparently Facebook caught up with that.

That's funny, because the only political video recommendations I get are right wing videos, despite actively avoiding them for years.

I guess when it comes to politics the Youtube algorithm just shows whatever the user doesn't want to see.

I completely agree with the code coverage part.

A previous codebase I worked in was terrible to refactor because of the insane amount of tautological unit tests and abuse of mocking.

For new features we stopped writing tests that were too specific and started writing more integration tests. We achieved a leap in quality and ease of development.

But we do have our "toilet paper made from virgin pulp". In fact, I'd wager that it's better than other countries I lived in. ;)

Brazil already have a rich and sustainable wood industry for decades. Extraction mostly in the southeast, in states like Espirito Santo, south of Bahia, Parana. Mostly eucalyptus and pinus. It is a 70-billion industry that is still growing, and is sustainable.

The extraction from Amazon happens on old trees in a non-sustainable way. Mostly trees affected by CITES, and probably exported illegally from Brazil.

This is not something that will change or economy in a scalable way. This will not generate jobs, and will be a compromise, because those trees take decades to grow.

There are laws in place and all we have to do is follow them, and the industry will keep up.

We just have a president that desperately wants to lax all regulations to appeal to his base, and that includes even stuff like traffic regulation.

So, yes, you are in a position to judge Brazil and Brazilians over this. We are not some small country full of poor people, but apparently we're in a fast track to become one. :(

It won't happen because Bolsonaro is too cozy with the US government, both have the same anti-leftist "own them libs" political leaning.

Who's going to do it? Europe? Asia?

Indeed. It's probably going to be even worse for the poor in the affected area from now on.

Illegal wood extraction doesn't only kill trees. Those criminals have historically killed citizens in order to prevent being caught.

I agree with everything you said.

Bolsonaro is not claiming the forest for Brazilians. He's claiming it for his party and his allies, and for criminals that have been taking advantage of that.

The poor from Brazil don't stand to get anything at all out of this.

> choice is development or preserving the rainforest

That's a false dilemma, though. There is nothing preventing us Brazilians from choosing both things, apart from wacko politicians.

Bolsonaro is only doing that in order to spite the left.

If leftists took the public position of wanting to destroy the Amazon he would be doing everything in his power to preserve it.

That's the world we live in today.
