@matigo Also, you just gave me the idea of juxtaposing “the code is the documentation” with something now indecipherable but once a duh everyone knows that, like say Egyptian hieroglyphs. Lame image macro, go!

@matigo Sarcasm but not. ;)
Docs here to me would be updating a review checklist; adding a bot reminder that X was called/file was modified, so double-check Y; and WARNING or XXX comments in the code.

@tewha It beats Twitter’s reaction, which would likely be, “Twitter is built on democracy. Twitter is democracy. For democracy to thrive, we are suspending your ability to vote for any party other than Twitter’s. Next – squirrel!”
@tewha Before I read it, my first thought was, “That’s a nice democracy you have there. For a very reasonable price, we might help protect it.”
@jussipekonen I wouldn’t even be thinking of blame, but of how to prevent a similar error in future. Would a test have flushed it out? Some progress or thread assertions? Better documentation? A different API?
@jussipekonen Interesting. I’m only an Android spectator, so I’m just collecting experience reports. I’ll continue scratching my head at the struggling they have with Rx, then. ?

@tewha Thanks. One of the good things about 10C is that there aren’t so many iOS devs. The diversity of experience and interests is part of what keeps me here.
@jussipekonen IIUC my co-workers use RxJava2 because AsyncTask is too much of a pain especially with thread jumping.

@matigo Truly a foundation for the next decade (of lock-in and consultant fees).
