Dani PardoTouching code you haven't modified in 10 years feels.. sad. Feels like lurking in a graveyard. It's lilke being in one of those dreams when you revive something that happened ages ago, it's full of monsters, I guess that's why we always feel the impulse of a complete rewrite, because all your shame flourishes in a moment. And you cannot but recognize how small you are.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/legacycode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#legacycode</a>

Jesper Stemann AndersenSo, why is <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dotnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotnet</a> involved in the blame for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MicrosoftAzure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicrosoftAzure</a> CLI upload to blob storage being weird?Due to how <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dotnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotnet</a> computes an MD5, and returns an array of 16 bytes instead of the more common hexadecimal string (the output of `xxd -r -p` in the cautionary tale).<a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.md5?view=net-10.0#remarks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.security.cryptography.md5?view=net-10.0#remarks</a>An MD5 string is 32 bytes, so <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> saved 16 bytes by making it less easy to get an MD5 string... <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/640kEnoughForAnyone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#640kEnoughForAnyone</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MicrosoftLogic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicrosoftLogic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShamelessTechShaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShamelessTechShaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LegacyTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegacyTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LegacyCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegacyCode</a>

Jesper Stemann AndersenI imagine it went down like this at the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MicrosoftAzure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicrosoftAzure</a> design meeting:> Microsoft engineer: We should store the MD5 of the content in the blob storage database.> Senior Microsoft engineer: Let's use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dotnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotnet</a> (!), and interpret the hexadecimal MD5 (with a newline!) as binary, and then base64 encode it!They might have saved a couple of bytes... <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dotnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotnet</a> ...👏 ...😬<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MicrosoftLogic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicrosoftLogic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShamelessTechShaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShamelessTechShaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LegacyTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegacyTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LegacyCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegacyCode</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LegacyCodeProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegacyCodeProblems</a>

Jesper Stemann AndersenBut try uploading a single file to blob storage with the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MicrosoftAzure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicrosoftAzure</a> CLI! (and consume it with official <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dotnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotnet</a> API's - which require an MD5 checksum for blobs)Surely `az storage blob upload --file foo [account] [container] [dst]` is enough?Wrong! You need `az storage blob upload --file foo --content-md5 $(md5sum foo | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | xxd -r -p | base64) [account] [container] [dst]` 😬Likely due to doing stuff with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/dotnet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotnet</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShamelessTechShaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShamelessTechShaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MicrosoftLogic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicrosoftLogic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LegacyTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegacyTech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LegacyCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegacyCode</a>

Jesper Stemann AndersenSurprised with how bad the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MicrosoftAzure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicrosoftAzure</a> CLI tool is for batch uploading files to blob storage.If a file already exists you get a five-line long warning - per file. Fair enough (ish).There is no command line switch to ignore the warning - and `--overwrite false` changes nothing: You still get thousands of warnings when uploading a set of files (where some may already exist) - and you are left wondering whether it succeeded. Not so fair.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ShamelessTechShaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShamelessTechShaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MicrosoftLogic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicrosoftLogic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LegacyCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegacyCode</a>

YunaCoding is easier than ever. That’s why no one actually codes anymore.Once, compiling took 30 minutes. Now, downloading dependencies does.I started with a text editor, every line deliberate, every recompile an ordeal. My code was built to last. No frameworks, few dependencies, a simple bash script to build & deploy.Now? I compile in milliseconds… only to wait hours for linters, CI/CD, IaC, PR rituals & YAML sacrifices. I am no longer an engineer. I am a high priest in a temple of abstraction.Performance? A joke. Code once ran fast because it had to. Today, it’s an obese stack of best-practice boilerplate. Innovation? No, just rebranded complexity.Legacy? We create it faster than ever. The lifespan of a framework is measured in months. But don’t worry, we’ll rebrand it & call it progress.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Programming</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareDevelopment</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Code" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Code</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DevLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DevLife</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CodingHumor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CodingHumor</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/LegacyCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LegacyCode</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BestPractices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BestPractices</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Innovation</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SoftwareEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareEngineering</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Programming</a>

MattHumans are like legacy codeThe organisation has deployed billions of (mostly) self-organising copies of the system, each running slightly different code. These instances often conflict with each other, even though you sometimes need hundreds of instances to complete a single task.There’s code that’s left over from early versions, which probably does nothing, but everyone is afraid to take it out just in case. Nobody knows what it all does. Some code was copied and pasted in from some other unrelated system.Some processes crash so frequently that other processes exist to delete them. This does not always work, which can result in zombie processes which replicate while refusing the kill command. There are whole departments that are tasked with fighting these processes.There are functions that are no longer used except when a bug happens.A single change can impact multiple unrelated areas. Some classes have multiple unrelated responsibilities. Some features rely on undefined behaviour in other sections. There is a redundant copy of the code, which differs hugely. Both are in regular use. The code makes copies of itself frequently and with less than stellar accuracy.The whole thing might be an old AI experiment. It works best with regular data input, taking years to fully train. It is okay at a range of tasks but sometimes outputs entirely fictional nonsense such as a flat earth, lizard people, and democracy if not carefully trained. The whole system exists primarily to generate a replacement codebase for when the current one inevitably stops working. This can introduce new bugs.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/code/" target="_blank">#code</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/dna/" target="_blank">#DNA</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/humans/" target="_blank">#humans</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/humour/" target="_blank">#Humour</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/legacy-code/" target="_blank">#legacyCode</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/life-is-strange/" target="_blank">#lifeIsStrange</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/people-are-wierd/" target="_blank">#peopleAreWierd</a>
