"Sometimes being a programmer isn't about the code you write, it's about knowing which libraries to use. It still takes skill." I tell myself as I add my 20th nuget package instead of writing ten lines of code to reverse a string.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

I mean the reason python succeeded is because you don't need to write more than one line to reverse a string (etc).

Ok, c'mon now, be honest. Does it really make the code easier to understand/ manage though?

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You get to manage code? Once it's shipped it's gone. There's no time for refactor and only tackle major bugs. That's the corporate way

I'm in corporate and I get to refactor and make things better. 🤷‍♂️ It's not everywhere. But it's the most common I imagine.

Definitely not my experience at four different companies or what I've seen from my friends venting. I'm kind of jealous.

The only time I've gotten to improve things already written is when we had a specific contract to do so once. Other than that, yeah, small bug fixes but otherwise new development only.

Sorry if I made myself misunderstood. I meant that it should definitely be the most common that you don't get to refractor and do cleanup and maintenance and stuff. I'm definitely lucky in this regard. 😅
