If you end up removing your mixins, maybe your software architecture wasn’t that solid to begin with. Mixins aren’t a default design pattern in Python. They’re often a design smell. Composition usually tells a clearer story. #codesmell #RSE #OOP

if (users[userName]) might log "User name found!" even for built-ins like toString 😬
Why? It checks the prototype chain 🔗

✅ Use Object.hasOwn(users, userName) to check only real keys 🔐

When your code is too hard to read, that's a 'code smell'. 👃 Like that time you tried to cook with a recipe written in binary. 🤯 Let's clean up that code! #CodeSmell #CleanCode #TechHumor

Function Properties in Data Classes are Code Smells To me, using functions as properties in the primary constructor of a data class is a code smell. Here’s why: Data classes represent data. Data is a value. Data is never executed. Functions are not data. They produce values when executed. Note: By the book, a function returns a value, while a procedure executes commands. In both cases, neither is data. Why It Matters Kotlin generates key methods for data classes based on the properties in the primary constructor, such as:
