I remember there being a similar 2-way matching "app" based on your FB friends back in 2009 or so. People gamed the system by adding their entire friends list.

Are you able to program against an interface rather than the classes themselves or is the entire API changing?

In reading both your comments, I kept thinking about Smalltalk's Browser and Method Finder functionalities. In Hay's book, he talks about modeling not just Object Classes, but how you can go about modeling ObjectClass classes (the

I'm guessing strangers in a co-working space would feel less entitled to walk up and interrupt you throughout the day. That's largely my issue with the open office where I work.

I'd recommend blocking off at least 6 hours for this. There are so many interesting exhibits and informational placards to read. It's well worth it though.

Is this related to a particular paragraph in the article? I've found this style interesting as well and would enjoy reading about others experiences with it.

This is all great advice. Two things that have helped me in particular (1) applying the "analytical reading" rules defined in "How to Read A Book" to a code base. One of those rules, as Olikas said, is formulating hypoth
