- Silhouette 9y agoSure, but no-one I'm mentoring at work has yet suggested we should change our whole development process to something trendy but poor because they read something that Thomas wrote. The same cannot, unfortunately, be said of certain "personalities" in the industry, including Bob Martin.
- tptacek 9y agoOf course. I don't see a lot of stories written about me being wrong about stuff, and I'm like 96% sure that's not because I'm right all the time.
- maaaats 9y agoBecause you to some extent is one of those "random dudes", and Uncle Bob is not? He is even family ;)

- SAI_Peregrinus 9y agoI think they're both right. You don't learn cryptography by coding, but at the same time you don't attack cryptographic implementations with mathematics. The design of the algorithms is a science, the construction of the programs which use them is engineering. And the even more modern crypto algorithms have started to take into account the engineering side through side-channel resistance and the like.
