in reply to Quest: Compiling aphorisms

Don't recall where i first heard this, but it has haunted me for over 15 years:

Object oriented programming is a lot like sex:

  • Everyone agrees its a great thing
  • Everyone thinks everyone else is doing it all the time.
  • In reality, very few are doing it that often
  • And, when they do it, at least one of the parties involved is less than satisfied with the results.

    sorry, but this quote is quite low quality.

    It mimics deep thoughtful saying, but all items are just poor substitute for truth...

    Much much better a comparision of documentation with sex, cited by schodckwm on this thread.

      Actually it is both pretty pertinent to the way that the then new trend toward Object Oriented programming was perceived at the time and also frankly amusing about sex in IMO.

      /J\

        I agree with critique of OOP.

        But in that case this critique based on very questionable statements about sex (I, personally, have quite different experience on this), so as a whole that was a crap.

        addition I very like for my critique reply to be downvoted: it's just like sex when you gain long awaited result!

        ye-a-ahhhhh!!
