True, but isn't a quick response so much more easier when your software is properly architected and written (in a time when response was less critical)? Wink | ;)

on mainframe...never heard of SOLID there

I'm surprised, those machines were pretty... SOLID! Ba dum tss! Laugh | :laugh:

I agree with you though, there's more than SOLID, but this talk of Robert Martin was about SOLID and not everything else (save for water molecules) Smile | :)

His book Clean Code drastically changed the way I write code by the way. I think every developer should read it. You can write all the SOLID you want, but if your code isn't Clean it'll still be garbage Smile | :)

Clean code is extremely important...We, at my company, have legacy code written in COBOL that can be read like a kid's story...

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Sir, I admire your optimism. It's not always like that.[^] Laugh | :laugh:

Yes, as one of my past colleagues used to say, "we're not making a heart/lung machine". (We were making an automated toll-road service center.)

There are developers out there in situations with a need to get it right the first time every time, but they are a very small percentage. The great majority of us have much more flexibility to apply "quick and dirty" to areas of low-criticality and then spend more time in areas that require higher quality right now.

(I just finished watching all eleven seasons of MASH.) Cool | :cool:

he comes up with OOP, like it is a cure for bad code

. Not a cure but highly to be survive and stay for a longer time from bad code infection.

I got one from my employer as a Christmas gift.
Finally decided to check it out.
So I plugged it in my Panasonic Viera television, wait for the updates to install, set it up, etc.
And then I'm missing a few centimeters of the screen around the corners.
I can barely see the start button and I think the trash icon is in the upper left.
Not even Google can help me here...

Only thing I can do is turn back the resolution and have huge black borders around the screen... Sigh | :sigh:
