How TF you expect that to work with MMO style games that may have significantly complex server infrastructure & deployment environments?

Well, this is in JS to be clear

Instead of

const name = user.name

It’s

const userToName(user) => user.name;

const name = userToName(user);

Ad nauseum.

We have a principal engineer on our team that is pushing this sort of style, hard.

It’s essentially obfuscation, no one else on the team can really review, nevermind understand and maintain what they write. It’s all just functional abstractions on top of abstractions, every little thing is a function, even property/field access is extracted out to a function instead of just… Using dot notation like a normal person.

Options:

1. Very Wet paper towel on the plate, microwave the plate for 30-60s
2. Heat it up over a flame, a ways away (ie. Butane torch under it, but like 12" away)
3. If you have a small countertop over or air fryer/toaster. Heat it up in there briefly
4. If you’re making toast, place it on top of the toaster (not too long, it can still break).

You can also use an oven, but that’s a lot of air to heat up for just a plate. If you’re already using it though, that’s a win.

I heat my plates up alllll the time.

Exploitable labor!

Enjoy Ecuador!

Wish I was joking… But the first amendment no longer matters, judges orders no longer matter. Your right to a fair trial no longer exists. Your right to peaceful assembly no longer exists.

Take that as you will, but the federal government is no longer following the rules it’s supposed to govern under. And your local police force will happily walk hand in hard with the fascists to violate your rights.

Naw, stupid easy for automated systems to clean up.

Your life, activities, and habits will be mined by machines in order to target to and to adjust and mold your habits to best fit your masters whoever wants your loyalty in ways sometimes imperceptible to you.

Consumed by companies and governments alike to target people both for monitization, and for enforcement action against the laws or political views at the time. Purchased by employers or potential employers to monitor and analyze your personal life and habits, to determine whether you are or are going to be a good worker bee. Shared with health providers and insurance companies so they can determine how and when they need to deny you service or care.

Mentioned something bad about the company CEO on the drive? Shouldn’t have done that. Talked about a pre-existing condition with your spouse? Shouldn’t have done that. Talked about your kids mental health problems in the car? Welp, now anyone with $ knows too for the rest of their life.

You don’t want your detailed data in the hands of tyrants, it will be used against you or others near you.

(Yes, everything I mentioned here already happens to some degree, yes employers can and do purchase your data from data brokers to judge your personal life. Yes health insurance will do everything within their power to deny anything they can)
