Instead of a ton of object dependencies where one change means having to find the references to it in all of your objects, you simply change what needs to be changed, knowing there’s no extra dependencies in your code for the sake of having beautiful code.
What? So 3000 lines of code to do the same thing would be "good code", and 1000 lines of code would be "good software".
- alexobenauer 15y agoMy apologies; and thanks for bringing this up! Someone above brought up the same thing. I meant 'good code' as seen by those that write 3000 lines for an API where only a simple 1000 was necessary. I work with plenty of people that see it this way, which is why I phrased it like so.
