Prioritizing Technical Debt in Business-Focused Scrum Teams: A Framework for Addressing Technical Debt to Improve Product Quality, Increase Productivity, and Align with Business Objectives

Abstract In Scrum teams, prioritizing technical debt can be a challenge as the focus is primarily on delivering value to the business through product features and functionality. Technical debt can hinder the team’s ability to deliver value over time by slowing down development, introducing bugs, and making it difficult to maintain the codebase. Therefore, it is essential to address technical…

Sick of setting up the scene, adjust all settings, and render 8 images individually by hand for every character i want reference for

Spend >2 hours coding the functionality to do the whole procedure in like 5 clicks

Spend more time just to code something that saves time? Sure why not.

#including refactor of my current helper addon code that's probably another 1 hour gone lol #but i will be happy everytime i use this so kinda worth it anyways #blender #ramble

#ooc #one of these days i'll survive a code review... #...without being told to refactor the ENTIRE project #AGAIN #like 🙃🙃🙃 #at least there's opportunities to learn from this #i'm hoping to get better at error-handling and test-driven development this year

refactoring

I lied when I said I was going to work next on loading a 3-D model. Sorry, old habit! Actually, I went straight into refactoring. Let me explain...

The English Wikipedia defines refactoring as "the process of restructuring existing computer code . . . without changing its external behavior", which is fairly accurate, though lacking in motivation.

My back-of-mind definition would be "changes to code whose primary purpose is not to add features or solve issues, but to make the codebase easier to maintain".

Back when I worked for corporations, I got in the habit of never mentioning refactoring around anyone who wasn't a software developer. If my boss (or my boss's boss) knew I was making changes (and spending work hours) on something other than approved features or known issues, awkward questions would arise. (Like, do we have a billing code for that?)

Anyone who's worked intimately with a large software project knows that if changes are made only for features and issues, the project will accumulate "technical debt" that makes it difficult to maintain: hard to explain/learn/understand/remember how it works and hard to make changes without introducing bugs.

Both of today's refactorings focussed on the BaseApplication class, which became unwieldy weeks ago. Last night the source file for the class reached 1901 lines of Java code (not counting blanks, comments, and javadoc). I don't place a hard limit on lines of code in a class, but a file containing 1901 LoCs positively screams technical debt. It's especially painful these days, since I'm working on a laptop with a tiny screen and using a track pad instead of a mouse. (I spend lots of time scrolling back and forth, hunting for the lines I need to change.) Cramming as much as possible into a single file makes some sense for a tutorial, but I see the V-Sport project as something I'll be maintaining for many years.

First I split off all the code that deals with physical devices and put that in a new PhysicalDevice class. The change greatly clarified which properties of the physical device matter and how that information is accessed.

Then I split off all the code that deals with texture data into a new Texture class. The new class bundles up 3 related Vulkan resources and provides a clear lifecycle of create/use/destroy. I expect it to minimize duplication of code when the project transitions (sometime in the near future) from a single texture to multiple textures.

I'm subjectively pleased with how smoothly today's refactoring went. One measure of its success is that BaseApplication shrank from 1901 to 1650 lines of code. Still plenty of room for improvement, though!

also sorry abt the infrequent + low-quality Poasting, i am once again in demo hell at work so im just like. completely braindead in the evenings. especially since over the past two weeks i think i've rewritten like half the robot driver + firmware. which is supposed to be the hardware team's responsibility but the hardware team does not currently have any programmers and i DID write the first drafts of both of those before handing them over to Andrew The DM (now living at a nice grad school upstate), who handed them over to another guy, who also quit and handed them back to me (with only a little wear and tear).

but like... do i really want to be working on higher-level robot behavior stuff during a(nother) demo crunch? no the fuck i don't!!

#the trashcan speaks #jorb #not all of this was in support of demo requirements #some of it was just refactoring Because I Was Theah #and space... is theah. #we go to the moon and do these other refactorings not because they are easy #but BECAUSE THEY ARE HAHD #ESPECIALLY when we have to do horrible things with c++ templates. #the python version of What If We Could Define A Struct And Automatically Compute The Packet Format #took me half an hour and maybe 20 lines of code. the C++ version took 2-3 full work days and tears of blood. and functors. #but it will definitely save time later!!!

It's been said before about the bugs we get here on tumblr dot com but sometimes I just really want to know what the hell the backend for this website looks like. Like, tumblr live is a *new* feature. How is it already so kludged together that changing the timeout on the toggle broke the toggle entirely?

#code rots over time from poor maintenance and changed requirements #and changing maintainers who can't track the original intent of the code #but really? #I would expect the timeout to be a single value #why is it not that #or is it that and ??? the new timeout is too large? #that doesn't make sense #presumably they're storing the expiration time for the snooze instead of when it was snoozed #otherwise we'd have all gotten an extra month before the snooze instead of after #so ????!?!?? #let me in I want to dissect your spaghetti codebase #I can be trusted not to compulsively refactor ungodly messes #give me write access #me talking

Aya just feels like home you know? Like I feel safe and happy with her, and I want to know all the paintings in it and understand what they mean.

copilot calling my code a hack. Okay bestie how about I wave a magnet over your severs and we'll see how you feel.

#lmao shut up haz #before you try and pull my wig for using copilot. congrats for buying into the myth that code gen tools could ever actually replace devs #I use these tools mostly because it's good resume building. they're actually not bad at generating refactors for declarative code. #but once you start doing anything with meaningful complexity they just start confidently spitting out nonsense that doesn't work #copilot is basically just a streamlined version of using stackoverflow. which is great because stackoverflow is complete ass #and searching any code online just exposes you to extreme amounts of medium blog SEO spam

roast my code

#it's ~200 lines of python meant to be a major set of building blocks for a hack-like game #i'm at the stage where actually getting to something impressive will probably require doubling the code size #so i would really like to refactor #but unfortunately my code feels like my baby; this is why i must kill it

[findrahil]

if the code isn’t broken then don’t fix it

#GOD #spent the past three days just trying to refactor my code to fit the new project specifications #(since they changed just last week 😑) #idk how or why it works and it sure as hell shouldn’t work but if i obscure some outputs it appears to work exactly as it should #(obscured output: counting solutions mostly) #so it’s not like i’m committing programming crimes #but i do not understand how it works and i am sure even god does not know #anyway i am not touching it. it works. i am not touching it.

You deserve to have a bit of an ego tbh, you make incredible work that resonates with people AND you're chill when so much Online is very not AND you give great advice AND you deserve nice things on basis of being a human. I know you struggle with self worth sometimes and that's normal but it always makes me so happy when you post about how proud of your work you are. ❤️ not that that defines your worth! As a person you are introspective and kind and laidback and that's just as important.

thanks ♥ o(*￣▽￣*)ブ

i try to not have too much of an ego but i am truly very proud of my work -- art is the only thing i find i am both good at AND have a constant interest in, so it's natural to want to like....smash it in people's faces. not in a 'rub it in' sort of way, more a...aggressive kindergartener hyperfixated kinda way. a lookit what i made!!!!! which i think is a human thing to want....

(and much like my kindergarten experience the reaction is "ew why are you so weird" which yanno you'd think that'd prepare one better for....*gestures*...anyway wow again at it with being dark and depressing, sorry!)

anyway! yeah! thank you! maybe after i'm dead i'll be famous which will suck for me because i'll be dead and can't enjoy it but it'll be great for the handful of people who bought my zines and can sell them on ebay lmao which i guess would be kinda cool. put your kids through college from your weirdo lewd zine collection. now if only my comics could put me through college

chill existentialism vibes out here ayyyyyy

#october is a difficult month for me and halloween is no longer fun for me so i am a touch more out of it and also i spent this evening #refactoring code and also no longe rsleep well havent slept well for over a year so uh yeah yeah i really wish i could art more im so sorry #i really appreciate the kind message thank you sorry i'm giving weird answers #kmclaudereplies
