I am looking for the "best" and/or original wording of this programming maxim: Put similarities in code and differences in data
Google found this in a perl discussion "capture similarities in code, differences in data" http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.fun/month=20031001 So I am posting to this list. Here is a hit on a similar quote "putting invariants in code and differences in data." http://groups.google.com/group/comp.object/browse_thread/thread/1dc6f6dd db34dc18/cdfb5eae936861f2?lnk=st&q=%22differences+in+data%22+%22in+code% 22&rnum=3&hl=en#cdfb5eae936861f2 This mentions Mellor is passing -- Is he the original person behind this? Hopefully helpfully yours, Steve -- Steve Tolkin Steve . Tolkin at FMR dot COM 617-563-0516 Fidelity Investments 82 Devonshire St. V4D Boston MA 02109 There is nothing so practical as a good theory. Comments are by me, not Fidelity Investments, its subsidiaries or affiliates. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
