These aren't falsehoods that programmers believe. They are restrictions put in place by a business person and/or lawyer. What a horrible title.

These aren't falsehoods that programmers believe. They are restrictions put in place by a business person and/or lawyer. What a horrible title.
- nulagrithom 10y agoFrom TFA: A number of people on Twitter have taken the title literally. "This is about managers and lawyers!" they protest. But, of course! All of the "Falsehoods" memes - including the original - are a shorthand for "Constraints placed upon a complex system by a mixture of ignorance, apathy, business requirements, or other legal constraints".
- mjw1007 10y agoIf the article's author understands that it's often reasonable to use a shorthand which isn't supposed to be taken literally, it's hard to see why they're unhappy about Google's use of the term "Family" in this case.
