    You see, that’s why you divide all the smaller distinct batches of logic into their own functions and then give the wrapper function a name like blahBlahOrchestrator or blahBlahManager waves hands mysteriously

      I prefer to have a blahBlahManagerFactory, with an XML an incredibly brittle undocumented XML configuration file. /s

      I find that it makes everyone’s work day simpler, because they simply cannot do their jobs. /s

          I think you meant IAbstractBlahBlahManagerFactoryControlBeansHandlerFactoryFactory6ProxyHandlerAsync_Compat3, and of course its test counterpart, IAbstractBlahBlahManagerFactoryControlBeansHandlerFactoryFactory6ProxyHandlerAsync_Compat3::FakeMockVirtualDeviceTestManagerBeansFactory2_HACK_DO_NOT_USE

      I wrote a bunch of if statements to work out how to handle various types of errors, and called it ErrorClassifier. Can I add “AI engineer” to my resume now?

    It is with great pride that we present you with the Patriot Children initiative. It provides funding for schools to have fireworks shows on July 4th.

    *^(It also extends the Patriot Act for 900 years, makes it legal for corporations to own slaves, and revokes the 4th amendment.)

    It really is.

    I’ve learned a lot about language by coming up with names and seeing other people’s.

    I think we are blessed with things like set/get. Such wonderful, simple, short concepts that compliment each other so well.

    And they rhyme.

    When writing a small, throwaway project, I stick with theIP, theDir, theVar, etc. More fun that way. This is with shell scripts, btw. I’m sure compiled code would be far more of a mess far quicker doing this.

    ETA: also someVar, someDir, etc
