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?

    Absolutely not! I’m not sure anything in any field is so trivially simple that it can be grasped just by looking at it. Getting even minimally competent in anything requires both study and practice.

    The good news is that study and practice are skills worth acquiring, because they are useful in any endeavour.

    The great news is that study and practice are what’s needed for mastery, too, so once you start your journey, you can can continue as far as you want.

      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. :)
