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

When your test setup is bigger than the actual test TL;DR: Bloated setup that's only partially used makes your tests more coupled and harder to understand. Problems 😔 Coupling Readability Wasted execution...

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:
