@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think it’s a good choice, better than anything else to be honest.

@xuu@txt.sour.is I have a theory as to why your pod was misbehaving too. I think because of the way you were building it docker build without any --build-arg VERSION= or --build-arg COMMIT= there was no version information in the built binary and bundled assets. Therefore cache busting would not work as expected. When introducing htmx and hyperscript to create a UI/UX SPA-like experience, this is when things fell apart a bit for you. I think….

In-reply-to » (#ebsmpza) @prologic Hmm, yeah, hmm, I’m not sure. 😅 It all appears very subjective to me. Is 2k lines of code a lot or not?

@xuu@txt.sour.is I think you’re onto something here. I tend to agree that there are different measures of complexity to apply to different things. The only downside I see here is we start to get into the realms of hierarchy and bureaucracy right, as a means to “simplify” the complexity, or abstract it away. I mean we tend to do this in software too, hide the complexity in an abstraction. The problem with this is this also becomes a measure of “complexity” too right and can potentially suffer from a point where it has become “too complex”.

I feel like complexity is measured differently at different levels of a project..

  • at the function level you use cyclomatic complexity or how many branches internally and how much you need to keep in mind as it calls out to other functions.
  • at a file/module level is a balance of the module doing too much against being so granular that you have cross dependency across modules. I have trouble with keeping things dry at this level because it can lead to parts being so abstract or generalized that it adds complexity.
  • at a project level i suppose its a matter of how coupled things are across sub-modules.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I”m not really sure to be honest what stops people from contributing. Maybe it’s a discovery problem too? I’m not sure. Should sit down and see what the contributions have been for some of my projects before and after the migration away from Github? 🤔

Are we supposed to “forge hop” (as in “distro hop”) all the time, migrate from the most non-shitty hoster to the next? That can’t be the solution.

I sure hope not, that kind of defeats the point of an ecosystem that is suppose to encourage distributed software development and distributed forms of collaboration. Right? 🤔

How do we collectively improve things?

I agree, Email is a giant PITA. I would never ask anyone to send me patches via Email. However on a positive note, I do sometimes get folks reaching out to me on Signal and sometimes Email. Then we form a bit of a relationship, set things up and go from there. That is actually much nicer.
