Over-engineering not only adds complexity, it slows down the whole process by 10x. Be mindful of the balance. #SoftwareEngineering #OverEngineering #10xSoftwareDelivery

Striving for future-proof code often leads to over-engineering. Design simplicity is key. #SoftwareEngineering #OverEngineering #10xSoftwareDelivery

#programming: I used to think that #overengineering and #evil were synonyms.

Turns out you can be both at the same time : https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2023/8/3

Explains a lot.

i got tired of using #voicemeeter, so i put to gether my own audio "system" using VB-Audio's Virtual Cables, and VCV Rack

i really wanted to have a way to attenuate audio under discord chats, so i could hear people in vc more clearly, so that's what i did!~

im using an envelope follower, which is then fed into a compressor, and then a slew limiter, to create a smooth attenuation curve (with fast rise but slow fall times), and am then using a voltage scaler to A: make the voltage negative, and B: to scale it nicely to only reduce volume by x amount :3

so far ive got it set so my music (e.g spotify) gets attenuated to -12dB, but my system audio only goes down to -6dB

@mjohanning man kann es gar nicht laut genug hinaus tröten, dass die kleinen Räder super leicht laufen.

Mit wenig Aufwand, maximaler Nutzen!

Ideal zum Fahren, ideal in der Bahn. Und sogar ideal im Auto, zur Vermeidung nerviger Parkplatzsuchen.

Und beim Auto? #overengineering pur. Jeder unnötige Schnickschnack wird verbaut, damit die Kisten noch größer und schwerer werden.

Was making tea and saw bananas. Now I want a BANANA RIPENESS widget/notifications.

eg take photo at purchase, apply banana ripeness model

* overhead kitchen camera to watch bananas periodically checks for custom ripeness, then updates widget / sends notifications for:

* bananas ABOUT TO BE TOO READY

* BANANAS READY GO GO GO

* TOO LATE BANANA BREAD TIME

* TOO LATE FOR EVEN BANANA BREAD TIME, TIME TO MEET COMPOST

I have written a slightly rambling #blogpost about building my band's new website https://sam.pikesley.org/blog/2023/02/18/massively-over-engineering-a-static-website/

If I were just reading blogs/listening to podcasts/doing discourse in programming, I think I'd be convinced that #overengineering is a boogeyman lurking around every corner, a disease that will plague absolutely every project eventually without constant vigilance against it.

But I just realized I don't think I've *ever* seen something overengineered in real life.

Kann mir gut vorstellen, welche Kategorie Autofahrer auf solche Daten/Metriken abgeht.

@honigkuchenpferd Ja so multiskilled sind viele halt nicht, nach meiner Erfahrung. Gerade was UX/UI-Design und CSS angeht fehlt oft ne Menge an Wissen. Das wird dann mit Libs ausgeglichen, die zusätzliche Fehleranfälligkeiten und Performance-Impact mitbringen. #overengineering

jQuery hab ich auch lange genutzt. Braucht man aber wirklich nicht mehr, denn der Usecase von jQuery war ja, Crossbrowser eine einheitliche DX zu schaffen. Das und viel mehr schafft man heute mit Vanilla Javascript.

Got myself into mess that needs fixing and simplification.
5 dockers to read a simple sensor and send values to a server. Like #wtf where they thinking ? #overengineering #buzzwords

#Overengineering #HVAChack: Connecting a smart thermostat to space heaters. There would be an electromechanical component, and you'd tweak out some efficiency... My three space heaters (the bedroom has a wall register, the computer suite an Intertek Pelonis, and the living/reading room an Intertek Amazon Basics with a weird Eco setting, and furthermore the rooms are draped off, so the omnibus feedback loop would be interesting... #BabyBoomerHouse

The most interesting thing about #adventofcode is to compare the different solutions in different languages for a problem that oneself has thought through. And the immense #overengineering that sometimes goes into it… 😂

#overengineering is when you have to use an app :androidalt: to open your car's 🚙 glovebox compartment, which is located within an arm's reach and can be conveniently unlocked by pressing a mechanic lock.

I heard #Tesla cars would have this "app feature" already?

I love that I actually got #NewRelic logging set up for my tiny little @serverbot #overengineering

Creating a wifi-controlled servo to push the coffee-maker's power button remotely xd Hope to create a wooden frame for it soon and post a video of it #overengineering

Is using #graphql a red flag 🚩 for #overengineering

Hmm, #ActivityPub ist wirklich weniger schwierig, als erwartet in der Umsetzung. Allerdings wurde die Go-Library auch schon wieder von Leuten gebaut, die nie freiwillig damit arbeiten müssen. #overengineering
