I think the other way around would have been better.
Boxing gloves to a samurai duel.
Unless the point was to show SOLID principals as superior?
of course they are (i'm a part of the cargo cult btw)
I think "overkill" is the word that summarizes analogy.
In my langauge there is a proverb: "to shoot sparrow with a cannon".
Killing opponent with katana in boxing match is not a victory by boxing rules. You have to fight barehanded.
"I would like to increase my visibility for "branding" purposes so i'm going to say something that is probably reasonable but i'm going to do it in a misrepresented absolutist way, purposely ignoring any nuance, so as to be as divisive as possible to get those sweet sweet clicks."
It's the linked-in way.
I don't want to toot my own horn but I think that my odds against someone wearing boxing gloves would be pretty good if I had a katana personally.
that's the first time i see anyone equating Java with "theoretical elegance".
Says much about his knowledge of Java/theory
