Serious question: Is “Directed Acyclical Graph” really an unknown term for people? The author harped on it pretty hard, but what it is…is pretty apparent, no? I mean, I’ve encountered the term often, but I don’t think I had any need to look it up…
Yeah, I'd be pretty wary of a dev who needed clarification on DAGs...
They probably know what it is, but it's a bad point if they're trying to paint DAGs as esoteric CS stuff for the average programmer. I needed to use a topological sort for work coding 2 weeks ago, and any time you're using a build system, even as simple as Make, you're using DAGs. Acting like it's a tough concept makes me wonder why I should accept the rest of the argument.
Can't say I have a strong feeling about Gradle though 🤷♀️
