Full stop 2 great evils centralization and complexity. Bro always has the wildest thoughts

[@testxxxx123]

I am on the same ship of testing. In fact testing is a proxy to measure complexity: the simpler it is to test, the better the complexity is managed and vice versa. When you write code that is hard to test, you should rethink your approach and start again

Code reversed = E Doc 👁️

Sorry, Lex, real programmers ALWAYS choose the simplest solution. Lazy programming. Its the same as extreme programming, really. Hell, they don't even teach data structures any more, as far as I can tell. new programmers love gee whiz but don't have a clue that we just manage data and present interfaces to it. Removing complexity requires a very deep understanding of the data manipulation that is the problem. As the author Antoine de Saion-Exupary said, “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Its only complex because you don't understand it.
