This sounds truly hellish, like being controlled by a stupid robot straight out of Kafka's "The Trial." They should allow special one off exception that are documented with a comment, similar to how you can disable Ruff warnings in python code for a single like # noqa: F401
They do // Nosonar
We frequently have the issue of, upon refactoring code in such a way that involves moving it and its tests to a new file, Sonar will take away our previous "credit" for code coverage percentage, dropping our project below the threshold and failing. The only workaround I've found is to create a new function, fill it full of many useless no-op lines, and write a test for that function, just to bump the percentages back…
Heh, at one place I wrote some java code that would use reflections to test the getter/setters in a POJO so that it wouldn't end up with 0% code coverage.
I sympathize with the OP. Having said that, I’ve rolled out SonarCloud to two different companies and I would not hesitate to roll it out to a third if given the opportunity. Initially, people always come out of the woodwork insisting that the gate requirements must be hard blockers and that we can just hand wave away the issues OP listed by tweaking the project rules. I always fight them, insisting that teams should…
No matter the industry, it sucks to have someone managing by dashboard. In classic post modernism, the signifier replaces the signified. If anything, it’s a great signal to the employee that it’s time to start looking elsewhere.

More than likely it is "just you", the page on post-structuralism seems clear enough to me (as far as I can tell, the post-structuralists are criticising structuralism because they don't think the structures are sufficiently powerful). What that means in detail is unclear - understanding a position and thinking it is obviously silly is a completely valid stance when dealing with philosophers. Or just having no intere…
> More than likely it is "just you", the page on post-structuralism seems clear enough to me ... > What that means in detail is unclear So the article is clear in describing an idea, the meaning of which is unclear to you?
In hindsight I like the irony that the statement was also unclear, for all that it doesn't do my comment any favours.

I don't get why people hate on post-structuralism. The process of reality getting abstracted to the point abstractions stop being representative of reality is extremely common in software engineering. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreality A hyperreal workplace is one where representations of reality take precedence over reality itself, and the reality of a situation ceases to have meaning. i.e. One where people…
You need to learn to game it. People care about this stuff are usually stupid. When I led a large support organization I had an SVP who really cared about open incident duration. His pattern for giving a fuck was predictable. My strategy was to hold certain tickets in an undead state (not impacting the metric), then reopen them and close them, demonstrating a metric improvement. He got his improvement and big shot st…

That's typically _not_ what post-modernism is, that's at best a misunderstanding, but more likely a strawman. The only point on which all post-modernists agree is a refutation of meta-narratives (and to be explicit: "here is no reality out there, it's all just human-created abstractions" is a meta-narrative). A very, very charitable interpretation is that you are maybe conflating it with Frankfurt School of critical…
> That's typically _not_ what post-modernism is It's not what post-modernists typically say post-modernism is. But I'm not relying on what they say it is. I've read enough post-modernism to form my own opinion. > Read and think by yourself. I have. See above.
I'm not sure how much value sonar adds where I work (dotnet). It enormously affects build times, and I've yet to experience a single true positive in 2 years (apart from the code coverage dashboard). The amount of MRR you can generate by vaguely being related to mitigating vulnerabilities is incredible.
