trying to learn to put random thoughts on here, as I do on twitter.
e.g. the tweet stream by two people on the question of are the original Design Patterns still useful 30 yrs later - one said Yes, one said No.
the arg for No was all of them are superceded by simple functional programming lines these days.
the arg for Yes is.... ?
(I'm for Yes, but won't share my reasons quite yet).
[attempt 1 to start a convo here instead of on Tw]
@totheralistair I am with the Yes faction. Reason: I read this: https://kotaku.com/the-exceptional-beauty-of-doom-3s-source-code-5975610
And after thinking about it... I am no developer, I see them as artisans. Like a carpenter you have lot´s of ways to build a table or chair. But not every design lasts for centuries to come.
