Exactly. This is just compulsive obsession over classifying (imaginary) things. The worst part is, that many of these are probably somewhat valid observations.

Exactly. This is just compulsive obsession over classifying (imaginary) things. The worst part is, that many of these are probably somewhat valid observations. I would actually be happy to read well-written book of short anecdotes about "how a bad decision was made and what happened" related to software development. It's not like such books (about life in general) do not exist already, but it is always treated as fiction/publicistic literature (as it should be). Trying to make a list of these and name these (especially in stupid camel-case manner, that does not contribute to readability at all), and assign "properties" ("Type", "Root Causes", "Refactored Solution") to them — it is just stupid and counter-productive.
- icebraining 10y agoSheesh, people, did they kick your dog or something? They're just some people trying to help others by identifying some common problems they've encountered. Sure, the presentation might not be the best (though most of them don't have "properties", they're just a discussion), but does it really merit the epithets? Also, regarding the camel case, that's just the Wiki's own linking format. I agree it wasn't the best decision, but considering this is the first invented Wiki ever, surely Ward can be excused a bad decision or two?
