This obviously is mostly smoke and mirrors. Uncle Bob recycles Separation of concerns [1] and overshadows it in the process. You won't define what are good or bad boundaries in code anymore than you will define "5 easy rules to au

If you look closely in the original smalltalk definitions you'll also see that separation of view and controller was intended first and foremost as a way to swap multiple views for the same controller, assuming those views shared contr

This is what happens when you build a product for yourself without any regards for what people actually want. G+ was forced down our throats in a bunch of different ways and I'm glad the plan didn't work out. Google probably won&#

And unpredictability depends on the information available to the observer. Thus randomness is objectively subjective.

So, if I get it right, states become more and more coupled, thus entropy tends to decrease in an open system ? I'm confused.

To me the target is being able to adapt. Patterns are not bad in themselves. What make me cringe is the obsession with MVC and derivatives. That's like trying to fit everything that is merely spherical in the "ball" label. Th

What this suggests to me is that you'll be able to respond to change if the pieces of code you write can be reorganized. This happens when separation of concerns is properly handled, among other things. Change will not happen if you do

If Agile is the ability to respond to change then it's obviously a matter of good craft because software has never been made pliable with a magic methodology wand. Of course you'll never hear a consultant talk about that, becaus

The article is pretty well thought-out and documented, but I feel it's missing the target once again. Am I the only one to feel that this plethora of nebulous patterns hinder creativity and intelligence more than anything else ? What i

Not everybody it out to hurt you, discriminate, or hate you. That being said, immediate reaction / assumptions cannot be treated the same way as thoughtful examination. At all.

Calling people sexist when they try to bring a valid point pretty much amounts to intellectual laziness too, don't you think ? Like it or not, our brains are wired to be able to ignore unusual cases and save complete analysis of each a

tl;dr Ive is too humble to openly admit he is/was "the man who designs tomorrow". The first and last lines say it all. This is, to me, a way to convey to the public that Apple's core is not dead with Jobs, after years of

That's exactly what I thought. I can't help feeling this is yet another "do it this way" post by a person that is big on theory but probably very low on real life in-the-field practice. You can't advise 301 when you

The unconscious may simply be related to responses to stimuli repeated and internalized enought in neural structures for us to not have to supervise them anymore. This mecanism could be put on par with abstraction in my opinion, for the rol

I think you define it very well. Self-sense building is the identification of perfect or near-perfect prediction of inputs based on outputs produced. When I move my hand on the right, the visual pattern it produces moves on the right ... an

Mathematically proving correct is possible if you have a formal mathematical definition to prove against. So what you're doing is translating the problem from one language to another. This is not the same at all as programming to solve
