    Yuriy SolodkyyYuriy SolodkyyDecember 13, 2017Dec 13, 201712/13/17
    Перевод статьи на русском The "broken warnings theory" is a fictional theory of the norm-setting and signaling effect of coding practices and bug-checking techniques in 3rd party libraries on new bugs and design anti-patterns. The theory states that maintaining and monitoring warning levels to prevent small problems ...
