When you say what a word "means", what do you mean by "mean?" It's actually not a trivial question.

Inheritance has is uses and advantages!

... But oh boy does it add a lot of gross complications to the language.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

I have just learned that "#Java Bean" has two completely different and incompatible definitions.

One is a dumb, badly designed data object with getters and setters.

The other is... a service object managed by the Spring framework IoC container.

Holy hell. This is 10x worse than #Laravel "facades."

Am I wrong here? This is what I'm finding from online tutorials. Is there more nuance that is not coming through, because for now I just hate #Spring even more.

Whoever decided that bad standards are better than no standards never had to use them...

I of course have not verified this at all, but it's just dumb enough to be true.

I'm hanging out with a group of under 10 year olds. They insist on listening only to the Backstreet Boys.

I guess the kids like Oldies.

Hey #PHP. When you use union and intersection types, do you include spaces?

"It's a DTO so it shouldn't have methods, just data" is an excellent way to end up with procedural spaghetti with a class keyword floating around.

It certainly won't get you a good #OOP codebase, that's for sure.

When people complain about #OOP being just an over-engineered mess of indirection, they don't mean OOP. Just the Java ecosystem. #FFS

The one and only thing I like about Macs is that they're not Windows. Other than that, I despise these things. The UI has always been awful.

Please, web app developers, consider how your users will upgrade. If your upgrade process is "remove the old one, unzip the new one", then it's not an upgrade process. It's an encouragement to never upgrade.

Any time I see "bad" code, the first answer is usually "you need more precise and strict types."

Often there's other stuff wrong, but easily 70% of the time, the fix starts with "define the problem better and the problem goes away."

Remember: Every mile of land lost by #Ukraine this month to Russian invaders is the direct result of #GOP intransigence and refusal to stand by our allies just so they could make Biden look bad.

Every Republican legislator is a threat to national security. Every. Single. One. Treat them as such.

No, #Python, this really is a gotcha, and a stupid one at that.

#PHPStan and #PsalmPHP are lightyears better than #KTLint for #Kotlin, at least in the quality of their output. It actually reports something useful, unlike KTLint.
