CEOs wanna cosplay Steve Jobs and unvail their crazy new features. They’ve already “trimmed the fat” to appease shareholders.
They just can’t make fixing old issues sexy.

Still calling it “The Chat Gippity” though
One of them is EXACTLY 8 ASCII characters, may not contain any English dictionary word, no repeating character. At least 1 number, and at least 1 special characters. Just obliterates the search space.
I believe I understand the perspectives, but I’m unconvinced that there isn’t asymmetry. It’s one person’s job.
Like, I’ll whine all day about my job. But I’m under no illusions that I didn’t sign up for it, and I’m extremely cognizant that while it’s a bummer that I have to do my job, I understand that the people I support are having a worse day than I am. I’m not doing anyone a favour, I’m doing my job.
It is the AD credentials. It’s a fortune 500 company and it doesn’t even come close to NIST recommendations.
We have like 3 different ADs as a result of mergers and acquisitions, and the requirements are all different.
See I think this is where in general people in it misunderstand the impact.
Like, if it’s -40 and your furnace breaks, who is having the worse day, you or the furnace repair man?
The repair man might be grumbling because they have to do their job, but you’re grumbling because you’re freezing. You both might be grumbling, but by way of impact there is a massive asymmetry in impact.
You can’t
Then why are they different between systems? Do you have different insurers per application?
This is exactly my face when IT is telling me the rules for my passwords.

I agree that would be ideal.
I flat out do not trust each of the 500 devs operating on our codebase to maintain comments.
Tests are documentation, code can be documentation. Those run through CI.
If you can keep comments updated at scale, do it. If you can’t don’t pray for a miracle and find something that you actually can enforce
AMAZING read. Like, in a Tommy Wiseau kinda way.
Pretty much every dev I know is rooting against their corporate overlords.
All depends on where you’re starting from. If I can map an engine to be worse on both, then a mapping exists that is better on both.
Writings self documenting code is so important.
Comments get stale and over time transition from: accurate to outdated, to eventually flat-out lies.
Go hard in the paint when choosing method or variable names. If it’s hard to give them coherent names, that’s a code smell.

Even worse than it being wrong, is that by nature of the tool it looks right.
No but I’m all-in on phrenology
