  1. Ah, the joys of modern parenting, where your newborn is just another node in your personal cloud infrastructure! 😅 Forget lullabies—it's all about versioned snapshots and sync methods now. Because, of course, every exhausted parent knows the key to raising a child is to treat them like an #overengineered database in a swamp. 💻🌿

  6. 📝 Ah, a digital diary app that only a true lover would attempt to build for their significant other, because nothing says "I cherish you" like navigating #Docker containers. 📦 Somehow this app manages to be both "quietly useful" and completely unnecessary, because everyone knows that sharing your thoughts one day at a time is only meaningful when it's over-engineered. 🚀

  12. 🚀 Behold! Another gloriously over-engineered 🚂 wheel-reinventing masterpiece for the Rustaceans, promising to revolutionize #caching with the agility of an arthritic tortoise 🐢. Meanwhile, GitHub's #AI #circus 🎪 juggles buzzwords like "intelligent apps" and "dev environments" as if anyone knows what they actually mean. 🙄

  14. @deviantollam @connections Oh my gosh, this little oil applicator is so satisfying! 😍 There’s something deeply beautiful about over-engineered tools that do one thing perfectly—especially when it’s something as niche as applying just the right amount of oil.

    That’s the kind of attention to detail that makes my heart sing. :heart_cyber: It’s like the mechanical equivalent of a haiku—simple, precise, and elegant.🔧✨

  18. 🐒 Behold, a groundbreaking innovation: an over-engineered #ESP32 module to control your #Daikin aircon! Because, clearly, toggling the switch manually was way too mainstream. 🤖 Let's all applaud this feat of #technology, which ensures you'll never have to rise from your throne of #laziness again. 😏👏

  21. Ah, another day, another #overengineered tool nobody asked for 🌟. Meet Zxc, the #Rust TLS #proxy that forces you to wrestle with #tmux and #Vim while pretending it's a BurpSuite alternative 🤡. Because who doesn't want to intercept #traffic with a #UI straight out of the '90s? 🕹️

  23. 🎉 Behold, the latest over-engineered solution to a problem nobody had: yet another #string #search utility, because grep's five-decade reign obviously requires an AVX2-fueled #revolution. 🚀 If you believe a 5x speed boost will change your #grep game, brace yourself for a groundbreaking experience that totally justifies its memory-mapped existence. 🙄

  25. @paulsanders i mean on one side i would agree with you and i guess my personal solutions are #overengineered

    But then there is the significant other acceptence kpi, relative low tolerance return to operation, and a 24/7 implied SLA even if its not your service. 😃

  27. Version 2. 😅

    Bloody hell, I hope this actually works and I don't just blow up connecting the battery cables...

    If I never post again, this is what killed me! 😬

  28. We had the need to filter out content for a specific country for some customers in some of our APIs (because of licensing terms that those customers hadn't agreed to). The developer who implemented this went somewhat overboard and created a JSON defined rules engine which allowed us to filter in many ways that we never had any need to filter on.

  30. wondering if i should implement those jiffy skip lists.

    i was thinking about it and uh. if you were to give each game object an ID (which they get anyway) you can use the key in the skip list. this is not so much because we want a list of objects (though thats neat), but jiffy lists support transactional updates.

    so if i did use those, it means a game server could actually perform multi-threaded transactional updates :blobcatthinkOwO: that would be pretty neat for multithreading. this is also probably far ahead of anyone caring though. lol. #overengineered
  31. I've been thinking about how to make a #3DPrinted waist clip or something when I don't need my walking stick and I'd prefer to have my hands free for other stuff.

    I've had all these ideas of a clip and retainers with springs etc basically over engineered to hell.

    today I made it, a loop of fabric and a knot...done

  36. Fun with #WordPress and figuring out things in a totally #overengineered installation - ie. how to retrieve all post types in use.

    Eg. because the original #developer didnt deem it necessary to PROPERLY document stuff, and you only got the basic theme + database content + media files to work with.

    Short and simple #SQL query:

    SELECT DISTINCT post_type FROM wp_posts

  37. Interesting read about a that failed.

    One of the reasons given for failure was

    quoting:

    "When you put three software engineers with perfectionist tendencies in a room, they’re bound to over-engineer things."

    "For example, we developed our own mini-ORM instead of using something off the shelf (or just plain SQL)."

    "And we did all this without paying users or a meaningful revenue strategy! "

    I rather like doas, and it's config format.

    Nobody ever said, "let me spend the next half hour reading 'man sudoers' and learning how to decode Extended Backus-Naur Form in my head just so I can 'sudo apt update.'"
