Nice moving the goalpost there (table stakes -> changing one's programming life).
- eropple 8y agoI uh. I don't think any goalposts have moved? When introduced, stuff like lambdas and the libraries that could build on them did do exactly that. But they're table stakes today, in 2018. Where's the movement?
- balfirevic 8y agoExpression trees, as they are in C#, have never become table stakes and remain pretty unique and advanced language feature. When I and several other commenters pointed that out, you sad something like "yeah, but they don't exactly change programmers life". That's called moving the goalpost.
- eropple 8y agoI mean, if you choose to ungenerously parse it as "table stakes" being the important part of the comment instead of, yanno, that these things that are table stakes are the thing that people actually care about in that whole ball of features, sure? Hermes Conrad is not aspirational, my guy.
