I thought so too. The first segment was about augmenting or replacing the current technology which is a different mindset than the boyscout rule in the second segment.
Yeah, take working / debugged production code and "clean" it with the latest library and language that is popular at the moment. Let's stuff a Ruby library in this PHP program because - reasons. Has this guy actually had to maintain production software???
Is that a right definition of clean? To always use the newest shit? Sometimes it seems just because people can speak on a stage doesn’t mean they know what they are talking about
This just seems like a horrible idea :D. You would never get anything done, except redo the existing code and even better, you would have to be constantly debugging a code, that was working just fine without any need for "repairs"
This rule really works, highly recommended
don't just blindly use some new library
Hot take: if the team needs to be reminded to keep it clean, then you need to get a new team.
I second this, I'm sick and tired of juniors who ruin the codebase and increase tech debt.
Outro song?
Just me or did the first half of the video seem out of context?
