programming advice feels like reading management books: people with experience try to put into paper their gut feeling, after years of empirical experience... and the end result is, at best, not very scientific. At worst, is outright misleading for beginners (as they lack experience to judge when said advice is applicable)
- Jtsummers 5y agoThis is why everyone learning to program should start with a language like an early BASIC with limited structured programming capabilities, no real use of subroutines (goto all the things), only global scope for variables, and no modules. Suffer a bit, then you'll appreciate things like SRP and structured programming a lot more.
