What? My take on the article was the knowledge transfer of a REST developer to a non-developer. His wife was only a figure relative to his position; the genders could have been swapped and it wouldn't change the context of the article...?
I would have kept the article up purposely as my belief that it isn't offensive and that people are ignorant and arrogant.
- sdoering 14y agoHaving studied literature, I really feel, that wife in this context was a fictional character, solely for the purpose of giving an audience that is not that technically experienced something/-one to relate to. That on the other hand just makes this case a case of misinterpreting fiction for reality. Reminds me of a story the acclaimed author Umberto Eco once told about his book "Foucault's Pendulum": His main character walks through a named street in Paris and sees a burning hotel ... and so on. Eco receives a letter, in which a reader accuses him of not getting the facts right, as there never was a hotel in this street. So is Eco discriminating hotels in Paris with this book?
