If you are going to be a programmer the most important advice I can give you is that you are going to have to pretend to know what "dependency injection" is
@mcc In such situations I often say something about ML module systems and how it sure would be nice if we got to use those instead of having to mess with dependency injection, but what can you do, none of us alone picks which languages we have to use at this company, etc..
Which is all true! But for it to be meaningful I would've had to ever use an ML module system for something more than a tiny solo toy project.
Eh, at least this presents a nice window for someone else to change the subject.
@mcc The good news is that almost nobody will call it that, and it's probably something you'll just cobble together yourself along the way without realising it's a thing.
@mcc I will take a programmer who doesn't know what it is over a programmer who pretends to know what it is any day.
The latter type is the type inclined to think "we need a framework of byzantine complexity" as opposed to "we should make simple improvements to our code".
