188: A Function by Any Other Name

About this Episode

On this week's episode, Chris is joined by German Velasco for a conversation
that fully lives up to the name of the show with plenty of opinions and
impressively deep dives on topics that folks outside the world of programming
would never think could warrant this much discussion.

How much duplication should we have? Is there such a thing as too DRY? Is there
ever a need for code comments, really? Lest you worry that Chris & German spend
the whole episode just volleying opinions, have no fear: the episode is balanced
out with plenty of pointed suggestions and useful anecdotes to make sure
everyone will enjoy it.
