Meme Monday

Meme Monday!

Today's cover image comes from last week's thread.

DEV is an inclusive space! Humor in poor taste will be downvoted by mods.

Reminder: Every day is Meme Monday on DUMB DEV ✨

write the documentation first
write the tests second
write the comments third
write the code

And when the code is written and it works, all the other stuff is broken.

my experience following this model is that wind up with far better insight into what i have to write and how i should go about it.

writing the documentation defines the spec
writing the tests determine if it will work
writing the comments helps layout the implementation (far easier to refactor comments than code)
once that's done, the actual code usually just falls into place.

It really depends on the domain you're working on.

If the app have to go inside a very complicated system of other apps and handle data records that can changed just few days before the end of development you can just update the code and then the other stuff.

yeah, its crazy, lady is speaking reasonably about the incidence of sexual assault and how that's bad. when i first saw it, i was expecting her to be haranguing some guy about nothing.

I think this is something you've gotta be careful about with memes, especially in more professional settings. Their semiotics are never completely straightforward, and we need to think about all the ways what we say can be read.

To be fair, it took them decades.

... Which means they probably had Teams.

True, but i think the pyramids are powered by the Pharaoh's wisdom which is connected to the divine, kinda like an AI powered program.

Regarding the cover image, it's actually much closer to rubber duck debugging.
