Viewing profile — pixelworm

I enjoy looking at the UIs of older platforms or software. Something about that pixel-ish look appeals to me more than the modern look of UI. For me, one of my favorites was the lo…

I think nearly every definition of MVC I've read has been different. At this point it just means you split something into three classes as far as I can tell.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Are there any books or websites you'd recommend I read to learn more about design instead? I 100% need to learn by doing, but wouldn't it also be good to learn what has already bee…

I agree that the internals of my code should be abstracted away from my users. But don't I still want the internals to be well designed so they are maintainable and extendable?

Thank you!

Yeah, I guess without the context I wouldn't really understand why it was designed that way. Or know what situations a design like that would be good for. Is there any documentatio…

This is pretty much how I've learned up to this point (and will of course continue). Trying to learn from real world code will be a new experience for me. Not sure how valuable it …

I would be interested in recommendations for those who have a poor example or no examples In my case, I'm a junior engineer that has recently been given more responsibility designi…

I haven't considered time to implement as a metric for evaluating design, but it makes a lot of sense. I definitely learn so much from my team's codebase. Most of what I learn is e…

Yeah, as I've been learning more about software design, it's become pretty clear there is no silver bullet. It would be nice though. I find it a bit overwhelming to try to find the…

I'll check it out, thanks!

Well maybe I'll take some time to learn about email servers then. I use email everyday so I suppose it'll be good to know a little more about how it works.

Oooh I like that idea. I may steal it. I'll be on the lookout for documents like that. It'll be interesting to see what patterns/designs were avoided. There are so many ways to acc…

I'm definitely going to do that. I asked because I wanted to start off with some that I'd knew would be well designed. However, it would probably be more interesting to see a wide …

Whoa, I didn't know something like this existed. Thank you so much! This will make it way easier to check if something has already been asked.

Thank you!

I’m working on improving my software design skills, and it was recommended that I study existing well designed codebases. What are some publicly accessible codebases you would cons…

I’ve been working as a software engineer for about three years, primarily developing a GUI library for embedded systems. Recently, I’ve been considering pursuing a master’s degree …
