MODERATORS
I struggle to review a 1k line change. When people give me such big changes I normally don't believe they've reviewed them either.
That's because they haven't.
Mystery solved!
Try working on a codebase that's all event-driven hexagonal CQRS with hand-crafted SQL for persistence. Add additional buzzwordy methodologies to taste.
Adding a single property to your product means you now have to update an aggregate class, several DTOs, and several event classes and handlers before you can even think about touching the UI.
And that's in your main solution. There's also at least one facade service you'll need to make compatible and you also need to update the event simulator used for testing. The latter night involve having to touch every single line in a 2000 lines long SQL script.
Having to go though three separate 600-2000 LOC PRs for one PBI isn't that exotic.
forgive them lord, for they know not what they do
Lord, I wish they knew what they do
Occasionally I do that…but only because 500 of those lines are my comments explaining everything.
Please don't explain that much, make your code easier to understand.
I’m aware. Not always feasible. For example, had to add a custom video capture solution that captures the last 30 seconds of a process for crash handling purposes.
You most definitely need to do add that much comments explaining the mp4 box format along with the box “hierarchy” of what is being written. Add to that MFT (h264 encode) code…
Basically, if anything, the comments are for me for when I look back at that code.
Commanded from above? This smells like a noob idea.
I have no idea what your response even means/is getting at.
This is my attempt to translate: You had to add a feature like that ? Must have been an order from your boss. That seems like a feature someone rather inexperienced and unknowledgeable would request.
