One of the links for The Best of Software Writing II linkfest is to an article entitled ‘Primum non Nocere‘, or First, do no wrong. It’s an important principle that should be followed when writing software. On the non paranoia side of things we have the 10 places you must and must not use AJAX, which is a good consideration of appropriate cross cutting of client/server interaction. There’s the ‘Fractal nature of UI design problems‘, where I’ve reached step 5 in the problem being addressed before just saying ‘good enough’. How I came to despise AJAX, part of a long rant that I’ve experienced myself. Does Visual Studio rot the mind? I’m a vim user. Why I hate Frameworks – an argument against complicated frameworks. Simple ones for me thanks.
Bit of a linkstravaganza really.
