This happens in a lot of tech talks too. Also a problem with explaining design patterns.
I wish there was a talk, that took something like Microsoft Word and de-constructed it and explained how someone can program it, from first principles.
- solipsism 6y agoI don't think that would be particularly useful. In my experience, most of the problems you need to solve with a big application like Word are either very particular to the problem space (e.g. word processors, 3D game engines, etc) or very particular to that specific codebase (i.e. how engineers dealt with the decisions made earlier by previous engineers). The Word codebase is no work of art, I guarantee. Like any codebase of any size, it's more of a ball of duct tape and bailing wire.
