If you know how the code does something, you also know what it does.

You are absolutely right. It was inline comments I had in mind.

Absolutely, although I see that as part of why

Why is there a horrible hack here? Because stupid reason…

Comments should explain “why”, the code already explains “what”.

I hate that my government (Sweden) is a driving force behind this.

Odd choice to use Android 11 on one of them and Android 14 on the other. Makes me suspicious of their ability to keep these devices up to date over time.

This is enough for most projects.

Just because it’s observed in the tech industry doesn’t mean that it’s unique to it.

We have well established ways to deal with secrets. Also, everyone is responsible enough to not self approve changes where they do things they are uncertain of.

We very seldom resort to self approvals. Everyone in the team see code reviews as important. But also that progress trumps code review.

Who said anything about only requiring 1 reviewer? And no, I did not drop an /s. You should try working for a healthy team where everyone takes collective responsibility and where the teams progress is more important than any one person’s progress.

We decided that everyone in the team is allowed to approve changes. If no one has reviewed your change within 24 hours you are allowed to approve it yourself. It will usually come up in the daily sync that a self approval is imminent, which usually leads to someone taking a look.

I hate when I have to work with non SQL based persistence.

To each their own I guess. 😇

Why not use a compiled language that compiles to fat binaries (rust, go etc)?

I always use Bacon ipsum

That unfortunately won’t play the video in Firefox for Android. (At least not for me).

We are over 1000 developers and use docker ce just fine. We use a self hosted repository for our images. IT is configuring new computers to use this internal docker repository by default. So new employees don’t even have to know about it to do their first docker build.

We all use Linux on our workstations and laptops. That might make it easier.
