Stop asking 'what tool should we use?' Start asking 'what specific outcome are we trying to achieve?' In this talk, Dave Mosher breaks down the difference between chasing shiny objects and solving real problems. https://link.testdouble.com/786585 #LegacyRescue #TechDebt #LegacyModernization #Refactoring

Reached the point where — after days of work — unit tests break again. In the same place as they did before the bug rewrite.

(Checks notes)

Oh! Now the underlying data structures aren’t a horrible mess and I can actually apply the fix that all those rewrites enabled. I think.

Nested contexts of todo-lists are hard.

Преодоление сложности в самом сердце Анемичной Модели

Доброго времени суток, Хабр! Сегодня хотел бы поговорить об анемичной модели — одном из самых дискуссионных топиков (особенно для приверженцев DDD) и о том, как, по моему мнению, правильно её готовить. Для кого-то анемичная модель — это антипаттерн, тогда как для других это единственный правильный способ реализации приложений. Многие использовали её годами и даже не знали, как она называется, и что кем-то она считается антипаттерном. Реальность же такова, что анемичная модель — это инструмент, который может подходить или не подходить в зависимости от ситуации, но при этом является очень популярным и, по факту, «стандартом де-факто» для многих программистов и организаций. Хотя в последние годы я и вижу тенденцию к тому, что DDD и, соответственно, богатая доменная модель становятся всё популярнее, пока что, по моему мнению, им далеко до популярности анемичной модели.

How can you use code coverage and mutation testing to add tests to legacy code? At @mendercon last year, I demonstrated this powerful technique step by step on the Gilded Rose kata, which is hosted by @emilybache on her GitHub account: https://github.com/emilybache/GildedRose-Refactoring-Kata

Last month, GitClear published an analysis of 211 million lines of code in its AI Copilot Code Quality report. One of the key findings is that #refactoring signals are crashing while #code duplication and churn is increasing.

A developer looks ready to slap a leak-stopping tape onto a water container with a hole gushing water. The hole is marked "code duplication". The next frame shows a hammer labeled "AI" crashing through the glass.
