Yes, Dijkstra was an idealist. But sometimes that's exactly what the world needs. We are drowning in complexity.

- Zuider 5y agoDijkstra took a top down 'God's eye' perspective which could seem impractical and even perverse to those people just trying to make things work by tinkering, and easily distracted into chasing after the latest poorly understood magic bullet. There doesn't seem to be an easy bridge between Dijkstra's vantage point and the complexity of actual practice, but That does not make his philosophy any less valuable.
