✨Fun fact ✨ I'm a wee bit of a serial refactorer. Check out my thoughts on refactoring, sprinkled with a little OpenTelemetry on this week's episode of the Maintainable Software Podcast which dropped today, which, incidentally is my bday, so double bonus. 🎉

If you're not making an effort to ensure #maintainability, #repairability, #reusability and #durability of new things when we're ramming steadily into the "find out" of the "fuck around & find out" situation with environmental and ecological abuse, you're either irresponsible or malicious.

It is inexcusable to make #EWaste (and most other waste) now. It never was excusable, but the reasons why hadn't yet made themselves blatantly obvious to all observers. Now they have.

@mac84tv I like how Framework offers a little package to reuse removed motherboards (like a compact computer) when upgrading their laptops. #FrameworkLaptop #framework

The massive e-waste and lack of #maintainability is why I’m moving to computers that can be maintained, upgraded, and repaired with less waste and is more consumer-friendly too.

Redoing and maintaining #websites:

If we were to purchase a new car, throw all the stuff from the old car in there, and say we maintained the old car

Everyone would look at us like 🤔

But for websites, this purchasing of new sites (redoing) has kind of become the main approach to #maintenance

Then unsurprisingly, we end up knowing little about website #maintainability (or less than we may like to think)

Some past thoughts, specifically on the value of limiting redos:

🚨 Don't underestimate the importance of choosing the right architecture for your software project! It can make or break your app's scalability and maintainability. Take the time to evaluate and choose wisely. 🧐👷‍♂️💻

My next #podcast episode is available, and this one talks about building a web, or internet, scale application.

We'll discuss the three pillars of #scalable applications: #maintainability, #reliability, and #availability.

This episode is intended to give a perspective on why internet scale applications are so expensive, and what it takes to build and maintain them.

Also, if you're a regular listener, I'd appreciate a rating on Apple podcasts 😉

「 endoflife.date

End-of-life (EOL) and support information is often hard to track, or very badly presented. endoflife.date documents EOL dates and support lifecycles for various products.

endoflife.date aggregates data from various sources and presents it in an understandable and succinct manner. It also makes the data available using an easily accessible API and has iCalendar support 」

It's really cool to be getting the question: "Why choose #RIFE2 over other popular frameworks?" already. So I wrote up a page that hopefully answers that: https://github.com/gbevin/rife2/wiki/Why-RIFE2

#java #framework #productivity #maintainability

@FranckLeroy considering the price for medical devices and #lifetime, I think hospitals should demand #LongTermSupport, #interoperability and #accountability from manufacturers.

#Repairability and #Maintainability isn't just about #Laptops, #Smartphones but should be considered espechally in #CriticalInfrastructure like Hospitals.

And that means not allowing toxic relationships & dependencies to exist - or at least not be uncontested.

"While it may be tempting to write code that is very dynamic and can be reused in many places, this can come at the cost of making the code harder to change and maintain in the long run. In some cases, it may be more appropriate to accept the redundancy of defining multiple functions in order to make the code easier to understand and maintain."

"Sometimes, we focus on writing code that is convenient to reuse in multiple places. This can lead to code that is very dynamic. While this may seem like the perfect solution at the time of writing, it can have downsides in terms of maintainability."

Cache the World: Turbo Charging #Firefox Accessibility #Performance and #Maintainability

First thing I disable is all Caches to avoid attacks and leakages.

@postmodern
That might be a useful #metric. How often, if at all, are these #constant #regexp lines likely to be edited? How many are #autogenerated? Will they ever need to be #regenerated based on new knowledge or #constraints? Rather than thinking of #partitioning them in a #functional or #elegant way, how about in terms of sheer #maintainability? What's easiest for #editing, #documenting, and #maintsining?

Sometimes everything with #typescript takes a bit longer, but at last it will save time :) #maintainability

It's really hard to stick with #Firefox with all that featuritis where stuff gets integrated which should be kept separate for #security, #performance, #maintainability and also #usability reasons. 😔

However, we still need to use FF because of https://contrachrome.com/

Another great discussion on #maintainability of your software in this #podcast. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0EECUrbHqkTFSoSFZ50FJE?si=ax9LO3k5RQCyhtjILkeH0Q

It may be by gohdevs (gophers) but applies to all software.

#TaylorFausak : « #Haskell’s killer app is #maintainability »
« I asked the following question on the 2019 State of #HaskellSurvey: “If you wanted to convince someone to use #Haskell, what would you say?” My answer to that question involves long term #maintainability and low risk #refactoring. I looked through the #survey responses and found many other people express the same sentiment. I collected some of them here as testimonials for #Haskell. »
