    it’s really fucking with me that neither axis follows a progressive ordering so I’m going to post a fixed (debugged) version. EDIT: lmao this is the most fucked up, inconsistent alignment chart I’ve seen. here it is fixed:

    everything -> sometimes -> nothing

    know -> not sure -> don’t know

    Where does “it used to work, but now it doesn’t, and I don’t understand how it could ever have worked” fit in?

    I helped a friend debug a script last week that was working inconsistently in really weird ways. I looked at the script and it was all event hooks littered with sleep calls. I told him he was basically fuzz testing his own script and then getting surprised when he found race conditions. Shit was wild. Also, sometimes getters in Python are a mistake.

      I find setters/getters are generally an antipattern because they obfuscate behavior. When you access a field you know what it looks like, but if you pass it through some implicit transformation in a getter then you have to know what that was.

        Yeah. I can understand the use case when it’s something relating to keeping simple state in sync by replacing it with derived state. But this particular case was flushing a cache after each get, which made each get of the property non-deterministic based on the class’s state.

    the “sometimes works, don’t know why” is the most maddening, I love tearing my hair out just trying to get it to fail reliabily so I’ve got a single hint

    i have so may questions; why are the top right and dead center duplicates? why do they have different images? why are the phrases inconsistent? why are the images and phrases distributed at random? how did you miss this?
