The history of programming is devs frustrated at arbitrary limitations of syntax or modelling and forming new ones, with their own arbitrary limitations of syntax or modelling. Whe…

joy at exposing the hypocrisy of others is a red flag of the ego.

You're asking those whose object problem model is a FOR loop not finding set based operations intuitive, efficient or ever necessary?

Chicken and egg, perhaps? OOO lives and breathes state, so complexity (defined as an excess of state consideration) seems a natural pairing, yet the overhead and complexity is incr…

And dismissing the old is one way that youth make themselves feel they know better.

I asked Spector about his 'immersive simulations' comment some years back: "I just prefer games that are less puzzle oriented or "single-solution" oriented and games that offer dee…

That should likewise account for variations in rate of learning, since you can't predict what prior knowledge they possess of the subject matter. If the rate is consistent, there m…

Seriously. Where are you thinking of going, comrade?

At the end of the day everyone's really a pragmatist. Exceptions tend to shake the world, and not really for the better.
