What’s the problem? If the refactoring would break something, the compiler would tell you.
Unless of course you use some clown language, then you have my respect! -
Either your codebase is fairly trivial or you are indeed a true genius…have you tested everything?
-
😐 well, normally everything works well during our first try too
Except the test suite says the cases that manual test didn’t cover had 45 failing tests for edge cases -
reminds me how USA wasnt testing properly during the pandemic, and consequently the reported numbers being super low.
-
@Lensflare ah yes, as we all know compilers of strictly typed languages detect all bugs
-
@devRancid not all but many. Especially those introduced by refactoring.
"Helmets are useless because they don’t protect from all kinds of possible injuries" 🙄 -
cb21910313y@Lensflare the compiler isn't the problem. Did a peer review and got the ok. Uses a bunch of annotations to at least somewhat ensure no fuckups happen. Still loops have to run correctly and data shouldn't be overwritten, which already happened.

Every single time!
Happens all the time....
Did a big refactor with no tests and the code works first try 🤔🤔
