Nice and all, but It feels quite pompous to tout this as a grand unified theory of anything. This is a highly specific little corner of software architecture, and is neither grand, unified or even a theory.
- bilekas 6y agoI support this a bit, I would have different idols in mind, but I wont fault someone for theirs. Once something is learnt it really doesn't matter. The pain is the title..
- nxpnsv 6y agoYes, sure a little unfair and nitpicky, but still the title baited me to click and left me unimpressed. I wonder if my impression had been better if the content matched the expectations.
- froman88 6y agoFrankly, if you really thought a single article could deliver a "grand unified theory" of anything, that's on you. People pick catchy titles; it's a key part of getting noticed these days.
- nxpnsv 6y agoI have a past as a physicist, so I am a little sensitive to that phrasing. Optimally a catching title matches relevant content - probably get lower bounce rate that way too...
