... If we didn't know the language, x = (-b + sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c)) / ( 2*a) might seem cryptic, as (certainly) would public String[] Lines { get { return...

... Why not 1. Draw it on a white board; 2. Use white board as guide to coding tests; 3. Erase whiteboard when someone wants the space. ? Ron Jeffries ...
Hi Ilja, ... Quoted from GOF: 1. Interface conformance. A decorator object's interface MUST conform to the interface of the component it decorates. (my...

Hi Ron, ... And I thought that you were meant to be extreme! What's wrong with 1. Draw it on a whiteboard 2. Rub it out 3. Go code it TFD ? (I use this...

Hi Bill, ... Ilja said, in a discussion of GOF patterns, that a decorator typically isn't a subtype of the type it's decorating. GOF said that it is. The point...

Ron, Don't you think that there is a medium-independent fuzzy limit to method length for comfortable human consumption? I can say for sure that I have such a...
