NPW07: Handling the ball of mud

acme on 2007-04-28T09:10:03

Fred Moyer took us over handling the ball of mud (I hadn't heard of that expression before). A good talk on why bad code happens and how to break up programs for testing, making the program file a 3-liner which calls the modules and keeping test suites sane. Choice quote: "Frameworks are not silver bullets".
