I emailed the author but I got no reply. Comments there are unwelcome. I have posted too, but unfortunately Zakas's filter puts my comment in the junk. If you want your comments to be posted, you should not disproof Zakas posts. That is the true. > Trying to impress less experienced developers with untested statements > is bad, but understandable.

He just tries to sell his books. And he does not give a damn about our criticisms. I remember a sentence: "The good programmer writes programs, the bad writes books instead and try to teach other". I am not sure how that is true, but Zakas a proof that. However, I do not want to wasting my time with him. I hope someone who reads Zakas blog/books to read your post here and decide itself. |
