Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
I just stumbled across this post from one of the MS C# guys on "Edit and Continue" - you know, what we've had in the Smalltalk debugger since the beginning. Just read the way these guys think about this style of development, especially with regards to their "metaphor developers":
The posts themselves are fairly reasonable, but some of the comments to these posts are just astonishing - this came out in the comments to "Einstein":
Unfortunately, a lot of .NET developers are new to this game. Why should we encourage bad habits? I'm sure the Einsteins out there wouldn't mind not having E&C.
That's right campers, some of these folks hear the sound of productivity approaching and they run from it!
