I agree with every one of these 20 controversial programming opinions.
Aside:
Does anyone else find it astounding that “vetted” interviewees could not write code to calculate the area of a circle in any language? Or is astounding too weak a word?
Afterward:
There has been a bit of pushback to the original list of 20 controversial programming opinions. Many commentors and posters felt that they weren’t really that controversial. James Hague and Bill the Lizard have published their own lists. I mostly agree with Hague and with about 25% of Bill’s list.
Update: options → opinions
I would like to add one:
Lisp should be the first programming language. Any LISP is better than no LISP. Common Lisp being the most useful.
