I somewhat agree, but note that I qualified point 2 with “Aristotelian”. The alternative “prototypical” view (which is what most want to use inheritance for) is unsuited. Regarding the link, I remember Eric Lippert’s series of blog posts an

1. The production of “frameworks” that provide default behavior that can be extended or changed. 2. The modeling of taxonomies (Aristotolian). 3. Modeling fixed generalization-specialization relationships.

I suspect that to some degree people in real life are filtering or constraining their behavior and speech. Facades of one type or another are presented to others. Being excluded from the “group” is something humans have long evolved mechani

Many of the example sites feature attractive drawings/custom graphics. Where can one go to find/hire people who can create these?

4GLs live on through environments like SalesForce and Zoho Developer. The web and cloud ended the era of the desktop and local client server 4GLs in my opinion.

In the UK, Parliament is sovereign. As such, the British Monarchy can be abolished by an Act of Parliament. It is the popular will of the people that prevents that happening. That the British people should choose to maintain the monarchy,

My thought is that the author has discovered that a relationship can be represented as a link. That they therefore “are all you need” is logic I don’t grasp?

I think the answer is that many responsible for recruitment have no idea whether a prospective resource is good/suitable or not, so they need some others to share responsibility for their “sell” (recommendation). The lack of trust is n

I think one mistake is using the term “monolithic” in comparison to “microservices”. To a whole new generation of programmers (and a fair proportion of older ones also) it has a negative meaning somewhere approaching “a huge and growing mes

The issue with requirements are that they are constantly being discovered, adjusted, added-to and changed. The issue with a requirements process is that there too often simply isn’t one. Just recording them in a Feature List (sorry meant

As with any new JS framework technology, it will feel great until its flaws, warts, deficiencies and limitations are inevitably discovered as complexity rises, and which are then addressed in the next JS framework.

Sadly there seems to be nothing so attractive to a new(ish) programmer than a shiny silver bullet wrapped neatly into some popular or fashionable term, or better yet a three letter acronym. Our industry features codebases that approach “big

Programmer shortage? Actually, programmers are a dime a dozen these days (soon to be a penny a dozen), but companies (we’re hiring!) want only “special programmers”. They can’t actually describe what they want, other than for entry-level pr

Sadly, hundreds of comments that would appear to prove that "experience" is of absolutely no value in candidates. Rather companies just apparently look for quick-thinking, smart people that can answer recently memorized text-book

Look to the inventors of Object Orientation to learn what it is about. They won a Turing award for it after all. Hint: It wasn't Alan Kay.

It’s common to over estimate human capabilities. Perhaps “holywood” tends to exacerbate that.

Perhaps this suits todays technology focused developer. There has been no progress on how to effectively determine and model complex business domain requirements into code, so just focus on the technological requirements and plumbing.

> We “know” today that inheritance leads to bad outcomes… Inheritance used inappropriately likely leads to bad outcomes. Knowing when that is the case makes one a good programmer, not popular opinion.

At issue is that software continues to approach an opaque “ball of mud” as size and complexity increase. Silver bullets of the day like “microservices”, event-driven design, and functional programming do nothing to improve that. The prevale

To me this question is exactly the same as “how big should a program be?” Isn’t a microservice just a program that provides a network interface using standard protocols? Fortunately we are all engineers and can apply well established meth
