It's stupid. He's comparing low-level Win32 API to a high-level wrapper called Qt.
Notice how in his Qt example he lost control of the window style, icon, brush, cursor, styling of the message box, and a dozen of other little things that you can do with low level win32 api.
- ihumanable 17y agoWhoosh, you missed the point. The point is that we can build abstractions to make our code smaller and more elegant, this leads to greater productivity. I intentionally picked these examples to show how good programmers are at making nice abstractions to reduce the amount of work we have to do.
- tomjen2 17y agoDo you care though? Because as far as I recall you can change all those things in QT as well, so all he really has is accepted some defaults that he can change if he wants to.
- sp332 17y agoYou can do all those things with QT, the point is that you don't have to.

- hhjj 17y agoI hope QT do error checking for you too then.
- NathanKP 17y agoDH0 + weak DH4 http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html QT has techniques for accomplishing all those little details like icons. But it also has the defaults already built in. So it is not necessary to set them up for a simple Hello World application. Later if he wants to change them he can add the extra code.
