Use the force

Id start from asking who produced that human centipede given you in input, and could he please add at least endlines when one person ends and another begins, pretty please

(Really try, what if the thing could be solved in another place much easier)

From the beginning of my work I had this mentor, who said (not literaly) that there are two kinds of programmers - those who solve problems and those who bug others with their questions :) So he kinda suggested to me not bug him too much.

Since then for about 5 or so years I tried to always do things myself. That gave me a lot of experience in different areas, but I now suspect I produced a lot of bullshit in this period.

I also stopped questioning and doubting stuff very much. I have a loop in a head, where there is very short pause of questioning, after which I either decide on a certain outcome (like 'this is network problem' , or 'I will extract this to backlog') or decide to collect more data and apply analytic knife (from great book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance").

Now for the last couple of years in a new working environment (other employer, country) I ask team opinion much more often. It gives a bit more confidence and sometimes I see lags in my reasoning.

Not really sure, but I have a feeling that they support app, which does not use frameworks like flutter or React Native (I assume that what was referred to as simply 'native') and wanted to know if you can work directly with the API.
I think that is the only way how the conversation could make sense, when you and another guy assumed different things by word "native"

I add a comment only if I imagine myself reading that code first time and asking - whyyy?

So in the end of comment there should be an imaginary "that's why" :)

@IntrusionCM well maybe some open source reference implementation would be nice

Or at least something easy like - "disable all button must be 1/3 part of screen and work at least inside 3 seconds"..

@IntrusionCM you know, when I posted the runt, I was not really going for blaming the law. Mostly was a question about how it could came to that, obviously intention was different. And you could read it like - was it what they aimed for? No, of course not. How is it going to get to the right way?

But after your comment I started thinking in different direction and it feels like you could kinda say in advance that companies would do all they can to loophole out of it, as advertisement is so much money in the industry. Companies are not so unpredictable in that.

I thought that there is no fibre because ultimately there is no competition between internet providers. It is all deutche telecom. What they want - everyone gets.

@IntrusionCM totally true.

However, how much ridiculous requirements you can put on industry until it collapses? Or starts producing such weird results?
I dont say that privacy is not important. I just wish someone would actually think about how their mighty ideas would be implemented and influence everyone. I did not see a single place where this stupid thing was easy to put in "no advertisement mode".

I'd do it on golang with just builtin http server (and maybe some gorilla mux) if I want something nice and easy. If I want something cool and modern - actix on rust. If it is for customer who often want Java(cause all the devs are java), then just SpringBoot
