A pretty good article. Would be a great article if they used real world examples instead of made up "formulated" ones.

- jamincan 2y agoI know that Foo and Frobulator and so on have history in code examples, but I personally find examples with them require more careful reading than examples built on real concepts.
- yen223 2y agoSomething I've learned is that in general, people find it easier to follow concrete examples than abstract ones. I agree with you that the article would have been improved if they'd used real-world examples, e.g. a ContactMethod type that has Address or PhoneNumber or something like that.
