Find's geil, dass ständig auf den Grünen rumgeritten wird, aber deren Ergebnis ist das Stabilste von der Ex-Ampel.

Specifically, because it's non-vital information for the average person, I really do not think you can blame anyone for merely learning about it through memes. But I do also think this problem is much greater than just memes. I did not receive a better explanation during high school, despite opting for more advanced physics classes and us repeatedly telling our teacher that it makes no sense to us. I have to assume that our teacher did not know either. As such, I got the impression that more advanced physics is just devoid of any actual logic, which was a major factor why I decided against pursuing it further in college. Reading a proper explanation under a stupid meme, could've made the difference for me.

Ist das so ähnlich wie ein Backstab?

Lots of folks get their superficial education from memes and will be mislead by this...

I like the idea, but I wouldn't really know how to put it into practice. It works quite well, if you're using Python to automate, but if you're using more dedicated tooling for CI/CD automation (à la Ansible, Puppet etc.) then those tend to not really have a way to pause execution until a user input happens. It's kind of anti-thetical to their end goal...

I guess, you could have a Python or Bash script, where each function just calls an Ansible task and once you've automated a chunk, you replace that with an Ansible playbook. But yeah, really not sure, if that's terribly sexy in practice.

Yeah, I'm really wondering why they thought this was a good idea. My best guess is that they want to keep everything within one file, since it makes the script easier to deal with. But when automation actually starts being implemented, they want the functions for each task to be grouped (and I believe, Python doesn't support inline modules), so they ~~ab~~use classes for that...?
Well, and I guess, it allows them to have pseudo-constants within each task, which don't need to be explicitly passed around between functions.

But yeah, really not a fan of needing this much boilerplate to start out with. In my opinion, the activation energy required to use this pattern instead of slapping down documentation needs to be as minimal as possible, otherwise folks will slap down documentation instead.

I would very much argue that you shouldn't add complexity unless you actually make us of it. Them all using a uniform structure doesn't help readability nearly as much as just not having the complexity...

Well, the products themselves might need it. Some of that garbage would not sell without an ad campaign. But yeah, for consumers, they're typically more misleading than informative, unless it is an ad for a commodity.

Sollte sowas je realisiert werden, wird einem dann die dreifache Menge an Markenprodukt™ geliefert, weil's ein Werbe-Vertrag dafür gibt.

That should be the suggestion for every problem.

No, I'm very much saying the same thing. Presumably, folks in the Democratic Party have some amount of expertise in doing public talking and organizing, so involving them is great. But many of these pleas just sound like folks expect Democratic Party politicians to wave their wand and make it all good again, even though there is no wand, they don't have some special magic to make the politics happen. Every single person can just as well go out and organize. Every single person who's complaining about the Democratic Party not doing enough, should be doing things themselves.

Of course, I cannot know, if the person who made this post doesn't actually also do that. In principle, this post is rallying the Democratic Party.
