Technical stuff sometimes about programming.

On the Other Hand

A collection of posts that seem contrary to my current point of view but which I find myself agreeing with none the less:
  • Instead of autoboxing in Java being confusing, inconsistent and clunky it's useful and concise.
  • Instead of Java being dead because of its strong typing people are increasingly picking more strongly typed languages and Perl is being replaced by Ruby.
  • Instead of test driving making creating procedural/data driven code and to avoid any test artifacts, test driving leads to more OO code and methods for testing should be left in (although I would've thrown an IllegalArgumentException not a NPE).
  • Instead of everyone becoming a librarian, librarians and semantic web developers are excluding many means of shared understanding.
