Refactoring: The Art Of Making Simple Things Complicated

That moment when you "improve" the codebase by refactoring a 10-line function into a 300-line architectural masterpiece that does the exact same thing but is "more maintainable." The face says it all—trying to justify the week-long effort to your team while secretly wondering if anyone will notice you actually made it worse. Classic case of solving a problem that didn't exist, but hey, at least now it follows all 37 design patterns simultaneously!

Content Suppose you have one rabbit. Now suppose someone gives you one more rabbit Now, if you count your rabbits, you have two rabbits. So one rabbit plus one rabbit equals two rabbits. So one plus one equals two. And that is how arithmetic is done. Now that you understand the basic idea behind arithmetic, let's take a look at a simple easy-to-understand example that puts into practice what we just learned. Try It Out Example 1.7 log!(M) (W) log.N-N 1- log lI(g) lim slog(N 1) lim slog(N 1) log " Ed 1) dr clog n - E log(a n) ( B, (a)da log(a 1) log(s N) lim log.N - (8 N)I bog (8 N) (84 N) (8 1) 10468 4 11 -(s 1) - Bi (a)da lim slog(N 1) - SN log N log.N If the authors of computer programming books wrote arithmetic textbooks

The Four Stages Of Debugging Grief

The four stages of debugging code that's been working perfectly for months: 1. Shock and disbelief: "WHY is this failing now?!" 2. Indignation: "WHY would anyone write it this way?!" 3. Self-loathing: "WHY didn't I document this better?!" 4. Quiet resignation: "Oh, that's why... a one-character typo I introduced during that 'quick fix' last week." Ten years in the industry and I'm still going through this emotional rollercoaster daily. The only difference now is I skip straight to checking my own recent commits first.
