Love Mr. Cheney, hate stuff like this. Someone who has put the hours in will probably stray from all of this advice, and still end up with something beautiful.

Love Mr. Cheney, hate stuff like this.
Someone who has put the hours in will probably stray from all of this advice, and still end up with something beautiful. Meanwhile, for all of the other schmoes who haven't put the hours in, this is just more fuel for screeching about how this name isn't right or that comment is too long.
Dijkstra said GOTO was bad, and now we have callback hell and 10-layer inheritance hierarchies instead.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoIf you're writing the kind of thing where you need callbacks, GOTO isn't going to make it more clear what's going on...
- jstewartmobile 8y agoNever said it would. I did imply that things haven't significantly improved. Throw away goto and globals, replace them with anonymous functions and closures, and the new thing looks an awful damn lot like the old thing. All I know is that we used to have retrained housewives writing physics programs. Now we expect 10,000 hours to write a halfway decent web form, and halfway decent doesn't happen nearly as often as it should.
