It's straight up just because people will pay the price they're asking...

Usually it doesn't matter what abstractions you choose when you try to factor them to support hypothetical future work, because chances are you incorrectly anticipate future needs.
In other words, generic code that only supports one use case will almost certainly have to be deconstructed to allow a good generic implementation for 2 use cases, so it is better to just write simple code and factor code out when you can see the real commonalities.
In other, other words, KISS, YAGNI
I hate reading code like this. It means that there is a bunch of object or global state that could be getting modified by anything all over the place that I can't see just by looking at the method. In other words, if you say you understand this method, it is because you are making assumptions about other code that might be wrong.
I'll take a 30 line pure function over a web of methods changing member state every time.
A lot of discussion in some replies to this, but what I want to know is what you want people to actually do?
Do you think people should vote this upcoming election? If so, who do you think they should vote for?
What do think would happen if people reading this thread (and no one else, let's not pretend we have any sort of real influence here) followed your advice? Would it actually make the world a better place?
They've been pretty sloppy. Even having craft/art descriptions be wrong, which affects gameplay. I miss the quality xseed brought but I guess the newer games are too large for them
The person you were replying to originally said they were voting dem because they felt like they had to but that they weren't excited to. That is a very reasonable stance being that we are living in the fucking gilded age. Maybe the poorest people are slightly better off but the richest people are still hoarding even more money/ control/ influence and the people you're wanting to worship as saviors haven't even remotely addressed it.
Where are we talking about addressing the ridiculous health care system that is entirely designed to extract money for rich people instead of prioritize outcomes. Where are we taking about addressing the increasingly expensive education system? (Forgiving student loans is a band aid that while helpful in the here and now does nothing to fix the real problems). I could go on and on. This is a country optimized for rich people and you are expecting people to celebrate crumbs from the table.
You really need to get off your high horse and understand that people really need to be given real reasons to feel optimistic about the future instead of saying "here are some numbers" while people can't afford their rent and groceries.
Low-income wages went up 32% since 2019, as a result of a stronger NLRB backstopping a bunch of union gains and the results of spending a trillion dollars of increased corporate taxes on domestic manufacturing. Covid inflation ate up most but not all of that boost;
So people are still as poor as ever? Sorry but I'm not going to throw a party for the bare minimum 🙄. I'm going to keep complaining and so should everyone else.
What is wrong with you? People being dissatisfied with politics is the very first step required to actually change anything. Yes, the current administration has done some good things, but none of it is nearly enough, and we should still be plenty mad about all of it.
Specific side note: you say reduce income inequality, but regular people are way worse off financially than their parents were and that's not going away without some real change and we haven't actually seen anything moving in that direction
Just FYI downvotes are because blue no matter who is already a well known phrase
Why is assuming purpose required for appropriate counterplay?
That is a very rudimentary understanding of the system that doesn't always pan out in a particular time frame or due to external factors.
