  • Haven’t looked much at the code, but not using type annotations in a large python project in 2025 sounds a bit suspect.

    As for tests, meh. Trying to test and catch errors in stateful processes is a losing cause, so I sort of get it, at least for a language like python. It’s better to focus on making it fault tolerant. Let it crash and just restart the process. If it’s a logical error, it should be easy to detect. No idea how fault tolerant piefed is designed to be though.

    1000+ line files with no type hints doesn’t sound all that great though, some people thrive in the chaos I suppose.

    The feedback is a bit harsh though, and doesn’t really inform the developers of why these issues can be deal breakers for some.





  • I don’t want to mix admin duties with personal use. The same rules applies to me as any other user of programming.dev, and the instance has nothing to do with this situation.

    We haven’t yet made the admin guidelines public (within this or next week, still revising), but any reports that involves me would be left to the rest of the admin team to handle without me commenting on it. If I were to break the Code of Conduct, I absolutely should face the same consequences as any other, including potential bans.





  • Just want to clarify that it’s not really a bot. It’s a script you run once to gather user activity and then ping once. It isn’t really built into the FootballAutoMod and was designed to be used once during the football migration.

    If it’s ever to be used again, it should be in coordination with the local admins of that instance, that way you can also get the subscriber list. I’ve also promised @[email protected] that it won’t ping lemmy.world users if someone want to use it again during a migration (assuming they get approval from the local admins).

    If any admins want to throw in their thoughts, that would be lovely.
