The originality is not really relevant. I've seen this type of thing take place before.

  It is in fact relevant to your claim that it sounds like somebody came up with it as a career advancement technique. Rather than it being part of a decades-long dialog about how to build software.

    Ah, I seem to have have met the politically astute developer on HN. You might like this version better https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22566315 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22566315

      Anything can be used for politics. But I've met Cockburn a few times. Ditto Fowler and Evans, all of whom have related work in software architecture. They are all people sincerely trying to figure out better ways to build software. By the way, making spurious accusations is very much a political technique. So bravo you.

        Jesus Christ, you are the reason I decided against working for FANG companies.

          Me personally? Great! I'm always glad to help people stay away from large companies.

            On the off chance that you are genuinely seeking truth, perhaps you would like to venture an opinion on one of the following rephrasing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22566315 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22566315 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22569847 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22569847

              Sorry, what truth do you think I should be seeking here? My point was that you were needlessly (and apparently ignorantly) trash-talking a serious contribution to the long, ongoing discussion of software architecture. If you've decided to stop doing that, great.

                Point proven. Your political astuteness is well honed man, well done. But no one who works with you likes you, guaranteed.
