  • They say insanity runs in the family. But it more like takes a stroll and takes its time to really get to know each one individually.

  • The unix philosophy is about making highly reusable and pluggable tools which is the exact opposite of what OP is asking for.

  • An example would be a REST API with a few endpoints where the database operations are handled directly in the route handlers uniquely for that specific task.

    That's a prime example for untestable code (not testable with unit tests/without IO). That might be fine for a tiny experiment, but I'd advise against it for projects of any size, even private ones. Always use a model like MVC, MVVM, three layers (data, business, user) ...

    I feel like we should have an in depth talk to better understand the problems you're facing and the line of thinking that motivates your initial request. Unfortunately I currently do not have the time for that. The best I can do now, with the best of intentions, is to advise you to read literature about software development. The trouble is, that I'm not sure what to suggest, because I think there's nothing that fits your premise. Maybe read about library development/reusable code so you better understand what not to make reusable by comparison? So maybe "Reusable Software: The Base Object-oriented Component Libraries" by Bertrand Myer or "Analysis Patterns: Reusable Object Models" by Martin Fowler. Though, both books are more on the old-fashioned side and I wouldn't recommend them if you're not an avid reader and (former) student of computer science.

  • Before I jump to "that's a really bad idea" with my 20+ years of experience: why?

    I mean, sure, don't implement functionality you don't need, but making code not reusable intentionally? Why?

  • I can't find the words to properly express how much I love this.

  • The problem is bioaccumulation: taking in substances faster than you can metabolize and excrete them. Eating something that has already accumulated something is worse than accumulating it from the same original sources. That's why you can do suicide by vitamin A poisoning by eating carnivore livers.

  • That's why I eat lots of chicken from the worst methods of rearing when having an infection: cheap antibiotics.

  • aren't prion diseases usually just a thing for the brain?

    Don't you want to eat the crispy thinking bacon? Your loss. Next thing you're telling me you don't want to eat the testicles ...

  • Prion diseases. Accumulation of different substances, like mercury, lead, strontium-90, and, a new contender to the list: micro plastics. And you'll want to have a look at a person's medication and likely want to make sure they've been off of it for a few days before consuming their flesh.

  • I am here to inquire about your spoons.

  • Can you add some arrows? I'm not sure where to look in the circled area.
