But let alone this fact, I can see my "getting nervous and venting" over a sensitive suggestion which backfired at me, and it sounds like a human reaction. It's just that.. I am concerned, believe it or not. Technology and knowledge are behind most of my posts, and we all "love" both. And this particular knowledge base / playground known as the Asylum still has something unique, it still is one of the only places where advanced ideas are discussed daily. As far as I am concerned, I am getting there software-design wise. From self-trained script kiddie to engineer, I am getting to have an "overview" of software design in all it's expressions. Software conception to assembler to high-level user interfaces, advanced graphics, algorithmy, computers structure, networking, artificial intelligence, system administration, I now have a good good grasp and solid experience of them all. And I hate to break the myth, but the way I see the Asylum right now, it's getting huge. It has best practices, policies, it has a structure, proven to work. It looks a bit like a cathedral. So while I fully respect a man's willpower and talent in building a cathedral. I must admit it has issues, as any application, even the most wisely designed ones. Who talked about casual "lags"? So I still see a time, in the future, when people won't be able to cope, and the amount of data in it will crack the flaws open. Users will go (how do we save/maintain/make this thing evolve from now on?) Resulting in headaches a plenty. And I see, on the other hand, the possibility of a smooth, or automated, transition, using blueprints that are standards, can be understood by anybody, used by any available code monkey, and drawn very easilly. Grumble raised a moot point when bringing up the complexity of UML. It is a "norm", not a programming language, so it merely specifies best practices.... ...based on the considerations above. TP's stance is still making me cringe, it's Microsoft's stance towards UML: "we have our own internal best practices, f* the world." ------ I do use Java because it is a standard way to deploy applications, it makes for scalable, flexible, rock solid apps. I do like javascript, xhtml, css, and web standards, for the same reasons. I do tend towards "building to reach the maximum audience". It needs foundations. This topic still has a bitter taste. So, I'll bring the funny somewhere else, on some other occasion. Loading...
