Almost no developers in the world have publically available products. Especially not in the 2000s.
Why are you, and other posters, so obsessed with needing to see something public?
The vast majority of software is made behind closed doors, the source will never be public, and no-one outside a company will ever know about it.
Stop invalidating other people's experience just because you can't inspect their code.
- buescher 6y agoAlmost no developers in the world make a career out of telling other people how to develop software. Since Bob does, his credentials, which are one part of "why should I listen to this guy?", do matter.
- mattmanser 6y agoYes they do, 100,000s do. They're called consultants and businesses use them every day.

If someone promotes a given coding methodology, then inspecting code developed using that methodology may give insight into the limits of that methodology.
