If there are enough things in scope that I can't hold in my head the relevant [meta] information about them for that usage, that's a problem for me, probably of quite a different kind. This is a brilliant observation, thanks. Reminds me of Yegge’s observations about large codebases being like dirt, and the more dirt you have, the more machinery you need for pushing dirt around, and the more people, and the more systems for managing people and dirt-moving machines, ... And the better way forward might simply be to have less dirt. http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/12/codes-worst-enemy.html http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/12/codes-worst-enemy.ht...
