You happen to see this only in what you call "power relationship". I happen to see it like this: people, e.g. software developers, with the same experience and background attributing themselves as "architects", blowing up their programming

I'm in tears. Is it reasonable to expect a 20 year old intern to have these 11000 songs? Does her life depend on it? What about other things which are unreasonable expensive for a 20 year old intern? The laptop to store the music on, extern

And COBOL is also not far away! Every time I look at this index (probably too often) I cannot fail to notice that the variance for all languages below the 3rd place is so enormous (VB.NET from 29 to 12 thanks to 0.78 percent of something) t

I'm completely with you that messiness is best tackled by loose-coupling parts early on. It's only that I found the combinatorics of many small systems not so much easier to tackle than their monolithic counterpart. The worst is even that y
