Are you really trying to tell me I "need" a tuples Gem with no (found) documentation, to replace my 80 line class that does what I need? You can tell me that rather than use something I'm comfortable, wrote 100% myself, I should use a Gem from folks I don't know, with overhead I don't know, with quality issues I have no way to estimate, and support I can only guess at, to do something I haven't a clue why I would need? My first app generated apps as a R&D manager for McGraw-Hill back in 1984. Since then my apps have done what I designed them to do, and I have never failed to finish a project I started. I have delivered, documented, and supported FIVE large scale commercial projects, how many have you? (They happened to have been in the field of STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL - we trained folks at HP, John Deere, Mercury Marine and other corps on how to use this software. My reseller were the two largest precision tool manufacturers in the World - Mitutoyo and Brown & Sharpe.) So do you really think you invented Testing and have a patient on it or something? Thunk

Ryan, I'm a "step-wise-refinement" guy. it worked for me for many years, and I think I can make a good case for it against any other kind of development, when and where it can be used. There's more to it than one might think, it is a way to follow one's instincts and work to strengths and let the code show you where to go next. Some folks will understand that, some won't. If you don't, I suspect you are missing some of the real joy of programming. Or maybe you think it is all science? Thunk |
