  1. I've never heard of Ponytail before, I've read the entire README and glanced through this repo and I'm left so confused. From what I can gather this project is essentially a single markdown file with a prompt that verbosely says "write the…

  7. I have seen way too often, advocates of SOLID and patterns to have religious arguments: I don’t like it. That being said, I think there is nothing bad in SOLID, as long as treated as principles and not religious dogmas. About patterns, I…

  8. This just looks like regular fizzbuzz written a bunch of different ways (by AI...), whereas the gimmick of the original FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition was that it had a lot of unnecessary abstraction: https://github.com/enterprisequalitycoding/f…

  11. 15 years ago, Enterprise FizzBuzz [1] was supposed to be satire. These days, it's not quite complex enough to capture "modern" web dev. [1] https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...

  40. It’s generally not what it claims. Single purpose is a good idea, but the rest… The idea that one class changing won’t change others is a pipe dream. Substitution only matters if you’re using inheritance, but if you’re inheriting, you…
