You're Cordially Invited is an odd fish. An hour in and I haven't laughed yet. I'm still watching though.

If you're worried about peak loads, push the boat out and get another Raspberry Pi. Heck, get four! Spare no expense!

Software scale's like a pyramid. At the tip of the pyramid, you've got your "hyperscale" applications like Google Search and Facebook that require so much hardware that you need complex infrastructure to manage it all.

At the base of the pyramid are the applications that could be handled by a couple of medium-powered servers being managed with a few bash scripts.

For some reason, we all seem to believe we're at the tip of the pyramid.

"Separating the core logic of our systems from implementation details like the operating system, the file system, network operations (e.g., web service calls), databases and wotnot is, it turns out, a very good idea."

It still alarms me how many developers' first instinct is to jump straight to writing code when they think of a requirement instead of having a conversation about it.

But, hey, if that's your money you're spending, fill your boots.

Here's the thing, I asked for something simple (but a bit vague, sure) and in about 60 seconds it generated enough code to keep me busy understanding and actually testing for... well... thousands and thousands of seconds.

Prompt in haste, repent at leisure.

Why is LLM-generated code a problem? Ask one to do something simple.

So, it turns out we've got something that's of limited utility and you can run it on consumer hardware?

Cool. Can we get back to solving real problems*? It's not like we're short of them right now.

• I'm joking, of course. That hasn't been a thing since the 90s.

"How do we make our front end code easier to unit test, Jason?"

"You need to cleanly separate your UI logic from your UI framework"

"No, not like that, Jason!"

I see we've already reached the "We can't deport them all, so..." stage.

How long until the "We can't detain them all, so..." stage?

"It’s not uncommon to find front end code lacking in fast automated tests. We often find front-end code's broken as a result.

This is usually because that code's hard to test in isolation. This is almost always because of a lack of separation of concerns."

Not sure why someone might have recommended me to deliver Domain-Driven Design training.

But here we are.

Who would you recommend?
