-> it’s catastrophic, when webpages change their url setup…

because it will result in
“nothing works” “ok”
this does not have nothing to do with luck, but with:
- bad url management:
- wordpress does an pretty good job there, as whenever the user changes the url (more keywords?) it will also redirect from the older past urls to the new url
- that is how it is SUPPOSED to be for EVERY website of the (not so) “ethernal” part of the internet called www
- wordpress does an pretty good job there, as whenever the user changes the url (more keywords?) it will also redirect from the older past urls to the new url
- elastic search seems to be a very very badly written software that does not do any sort of software quality checks?
- or maybe it’s wrongful integration? (but maybe it just sucks)
- why is every developer-user using it?
- PS: as mankind still ponders and evolves (by making mistakes) how to best deal with computers
- yes someone said “publish early” & “publish often” (doing this with the blog… also… often too often and too early X-D)
- or: “Release early, release often” (wiki)
- “tight feedback loop between developers and testers or users” (wiki) - yeah sure as a developer that might be a good thing, as a user… really doubt it… - there are highly intelligent respected developers that pioneered this concept… it might work for small teams… (of one)
- “This philosophy was popularized by Eric S. Raymond in his 1997 essay The Cathedral and the Bazaar, where Raymond stated “Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers”.[4]”“This philosophy was originally applied to the development of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, but has also been applied to closed source, commercial software development.””The alternative to the release early, release often philosophy is aiming to provide only polished, bug-free releases.[5] Advocates of RERO question that this would in fact result in higher-quality releases.[4]“
- has this lead to every developer going in the: continuous development/continuous integration direction? (definately sounds like it)
- it really should be called CD/CI not CI/CD because first comes the development, then the integration (but well hewego: CI/CD@RedHat)
- still pondering if it’s really a good idea
- well if software quality sticks to UNIX principles of K.I.S.S (most do not and have NO IDEA what non-K.I.S.S means for their software-project or company:
- it is the difference between:
- lost in chaos of complexity = dysfunctionality
- vs a lean stream of running smooth software-company
-

- plus test-driven development: 100.000 use case checks tested afterwards automatic & semi-automatic & manual
- than that probably works (but then that is what needs to be done anyway to ensure good software quality)
- plus: maybe a feedback channel that does not de-motivate
- always say something positive first
- then the critique - signal.org is a very cool mobile & desktop messenger (that usually works pretty well) but: - what is already annoying: if updates per program are 100MBytes and more… (always downloads the full thing (signal.org desktop client) no differential updates?)
- or: “Release early, release often” (wiki)
- yes someone said “publish early” & “publish often” (doing this with the blog… also… often too often and too early X-D)
- word of advice: never blindly follow “the trends”
- always think for yourself, “does it make sense”?
- test it if it works for you, if not, drop it, what’s the point?
- always think for yourself, “does it make sense”?
imho gotta to do both…
