I hope at least that we're in a phase of the profession where we're "discovering" the actual best practices.
There have been a lot of best practices that have been hypothesized over time: OOP, functional programming, unit testing, generative testing, formal analysis, strict typing, weak typing, etc.
And all these as-of-yet unfounded hypotheses are important! You've got to have a theory of how something works before you can prove that it does. Hopefully we can start to devise those proofs.
- julianlam 5y agoWe're definitely still figuring out what the best practices are. In my relatively short career as a software developer, we've already flipped back and forth between separation of concerns is important when it comes to views, styling, and logic. (Frontend dev) Gone are the days when we threw together a php, html, and JavaScript in one file... wait, or is it?
