An honest question - has Martin Fowler ever written any code that makes him so much of an authority on software design?
I don't disagree with everything he's said, but what contributions has he made that makes him so much of an authority on how I write code?
- jjbiotech 11y agoThat's an impressive logical jump you've made there. Starting with a man simply writing a blog post with his opinion on software architecture, all the way to implying that he's an authority on writing code. He never said he was an authority...
- debacle 11y agoMartin Fowler (not the author) definitely thinks he's an authority. Have you ever heard him speak?
- cableshaft 11y agoYou Google "Martin Fowler" and the snippet of text that accompanies his personal website is "Object-oriented programming expert and consultant, one of the leaders in refactoring, author of the book 'Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code'" He's a self-proclaimed "expert" and a "leader". Yes, he's basically saying right there that he is an authority on writing code. That being said, I've read some of his Refactoring book awhile ago, and it's mostly good advice from what I remember.
