Anyone else expecting the 17th century philosopher?
- fleitz 16y agoI was hoping for it.
- myusuf3 16y agohaha i think you missing the point. It's good software development practices. Not who I can extract an allegory from.
- brudgers 16y agoSomehow I think a case could be made that radical empiricism is a useful model for software development...i.e. one's a priori ideas about customers, markets, and the utility of software are not as useful as customer feedback: And if our dreamer pleases to try whether the glowing heat of a glass furnace be barely a wandering imagination in a drowsy man's fancy, by putting his hand into it, he may perhaps be wakened into a certainty greater than he could wish http://enlightenment.supersaturated.com/johnlocke/BOOKIVChapterXI.html http://enlightenment.supersaturated.com/johnlocke/BOOKIVChap...
- joshaber 16y agoIt makes me really sad that for a lot of people John Locke == some dude from some shitty show.
- rubergly 16y agoI was expecting the philosopher, but was pleasantly surprised when it was the Lost character. That being said, this article is more of a funny article about Lost targeted at programmers than it is an article about important software development practices inspired by Lost.
- cafard 16y agoYep. Now "Calvin and Hobbes", that would be another story.
