I looked into the lemmy src, and what is supposed to be a CRUD API has several layers of abstraction. Same at work, where we have hexagonally structured apps where following any sort of logic is literally impossible. What are your thoughts?

    I’ve been doing this shit for 3 years, and yet I have issues grasping fucking lemmy src

    I apologize for my harsh tone, but you can see why I’m upset that I can’t read it properly.

      Well, sure, it’s frustrating. I haven’t looked at lemmy code, so maybe it is a dumpster fire. But I’ve been programming since about 1980, and I still stumble more than I’d like, even when I’m the one who wrote the crap I’m trying to figure out. :)

        :( I’m just depressed at the moment as this thread made me feel bad about my programming

      Developing for Lemmy or developing in general?

      If you’ve only been developing for 3 years then you’re not much beyond a junior. Nobody (least of all yourself) should expect you to be able to just sit down and grok a rust codebase using actix.

      What you appear to be lacking right now is patience and experience. They both come with time.

        In general, I’ve been doing this for like 5 or 3 years… this as in programming. Actix-web is no problem here, it’s just the architecture that seemed to stump me.

        I apologize for earlier, but depression is a real bitch at times, and I can have these moments where I just… go off the rails.
