A Quick Example of YAGNI / Simplest Thing Possible in Action(codebetter.com)

submitted by bradygaster(4897) 3 years, 3 months ago

If you've ever worked on an Agile/XP team you've surely heard something in the lines of "Let's YAGNI that. (YAGNI == You aren't gonna need it)" You've probably also heard the phrase "do the simplest thing that could possibly work." Both of these sayings are an exhortion to developers to avoid overdesign and analysis/paralysis by focusing on the here and now instead of getting caught up in designing for a conjectural need. I called YAGNI on something today. read more...

Scraping, or Programatically Accessing, a Secure Webpage(ryanfarley.com)

submitted by StanJackson(395) 3 years, 9 months ago

There are many secure websites out there that provide useful information but do not have a public API to access it's data. A prime example of this is the LinkedIn website. You might love to gather some info from LinkedIn, but their promise to deliver a public API has yet to come to fruition. The problem is, the pages with all the good data are secure, requiring the user to log in before accessing these pages. Let's say we want to scrape this data from these pages programatically? We need to authenticate to access these pages. We can do that by reusing the authentication cookie from the site that we receive when we log in with a browser. read more...

Why Are Our Programs Still Represented by Flat Files?(atalasoft.com)

submitted by Rickasaurus(1225) 3 years, 11 months ago

It's time to leave the secondary, external structure of our programs behind. If you can treat the reflected code from a programming language like an abstract data structure, why can’t you just keep the source itself in a similarly abstracted data structure? Isn’t the structure of a program more similar to a graph, than a list? Besides the momentum of the past, what is keeping us tied to having our code in this format? read more...
