One reason for a separate API is that a company might not want to offer the same level of capability to 3rd-party apps (maybe there are privacy concerns with making the data easily accessible, maybe...

If you are going to fill that space over time, and/or reuse it, and if the size (or an upper bound) is know in advance it doesn't hurt to do it. It's just one line of code and it's perfectly clear what...

@laegirl - a lot of this bloat comes from people thinking they have to copy data layer-to-layer to have layering, and also because ORMs are intrusive and tend to force everything else to play to their...

@SergeyZolotarev - "no selection as a type of selection is awkward" - Why? It's not "no selection". It's an explicitly selected command from the user, requesting that the currently stored value be...

Why can't you represent "Nothing" as one of the options (is there some technical problem)? Then just check for it in the "present" handler? As in, if selection is "Nothing", clear, else assign the...

I think one of the fundamental problems here is that a DevOps role/team is separate from the development team. That's precisely the opposite of what DevOps was meant to be, and exactly the problem...

@JimmyJames - "we can generate the test cases with AI!" oh, believe me, that's already happening all over the industry. Not the least because a lot of people don't like to write tests, and/or don't...

This whole agents.md businesses is a disaster waiting to happen. It's essentially automation using an unreliable tool instructed in an informal language, that sweeps complexity under the rug.

The problem you have there is in some sense similar to what JavaScripts's Array.reduce function is designed to tackle (other languages provide alike facilities).It generalizes various data...

Can you modify the code to simply pass the data to the .process method instead to the constructor: solver.process(data)? This seems like a more natural, more flexible design.

If you intend to use the base class only for its implementation but not for its API, then yes, generally prefer composition over inheritance. "Won't it be confusing?" - no. In fact it'll only make your...

Why not use "upfront investment" and "high learning curve"? These are pretty standard terms and you more or less used them yourself to describe the problem.

A generic approach implies some sort of abstraction (not in the sense of "abstract class", but abstraction as in an generalized, abstract concept), while special cases imply, well... the opposite of...
