Hi Pall, James, Yann ( et al) I just read some definitions of de-obfuscating code, and suddenly recognised that I am a very naive coder! -;)
But nevertheless still enjoying doing it, maybe because all that cryptic secret stuff is something not directly connected to coding 'an sich' but has more to do with protecting source/code in an environment where maliciousness is an apparently dominant practice The 'evil doers' - spam, cialis, viagra etc - you pointed to in your link are more or less negative creatives, whereas I and - I think - a lot of others are just 'creatives'. Then I wonder if a felt - or lived - 'naivity' will not - in the long term - survive as a 'positive' force contrary to the 'negative' forces of the 'spam' politics of 'the war on terror', built on a 'negative' and de/fensive philosophy, resulting in ... well obfuscating even our 'lived' environment, examplified by borders, fences, certificates, examination and more 'artificial' coded social and relational 'programs' To critisize these phenomena one needs to able to both code and de/code these constructs and therefore step outside that same positive 'naivity'. So to recap the comparision between OOPh and OOP can give insights in terrains not being connected at first sight, but when put in a broader context have more in common than we maybe want them to have, the 'contemporary' is yet so obfuscated that is a necessity to de/obfuscate it in a way directly connected to our societal 'existence' , which makes it a 'philosophical' issue par excellence!
