WTF has a great article on "Soft Coding." We all know that "Hard Coding" is bad, and we try to put information that's likely to change in configuration files. But as this article explains, our assault on Hard Coding can go too far, and we end up with something even worse: Soft Coding.
I'm sure the short (2.5 page) article will be making the rounds on social networking sites soon. Since ColdFusion developers seem to be particularly susceptible to Soft Coding, I thought I would post it here. http://worsethanfailure.com/Articles/Soft_Coding.aspx Patrick -- Patrick McElhaney 704.560.9117 You are subscribed to cfcdev.
