I wonder if it was not a case of over-engineering that helped
zope's community fragmentation.
That is correct. You know the famous saying by P.J. Eby
Those who do not study Zope, are condemned to reinvent it.
Well that is because every concept known to software developers is
in there. There is no clear directory into the concepts/software
libraries. And worse yet, when I want to use any of those concepts it
does not have a clear human interface, documentation and mental
model, so that I have to go and read the source code. It is a human
factors disaster. Particularly if your boss is on your back asking
what you have done today. I just spent two days trying to
understand the zope security model. Turns out I do not need it Is
not an acceptable reply. Which is literally how I spent my last two
days. I had to understand it before I could decide to toss parts of
it out. Fortunately I do not have a boss.
I now understand that my arguments on the mailing list were really
about software engineering vs Human Factors. My training was in
industrial engineering, rather than computer science. Using last
centuries technologies is an unmitigated human factors disaster.
Sure the future is giant libraries of reusable components, but there
is no viable way to get there from here. There needs to be a graceful
path.
So the Zopache user mental model starts with 4 simple TTW classes.
HTML, CSS, Javascipt, and Images. It will be easy for people to put
up their HTML resumes on my next generation recruiting website
PrivaCV.com. And from there the next branch of the hierarchical
menu will have some more options for them to explore and learn. One
step at a time.
Thank you so much for helping me to understand the context of the
work I am doing.
You are arguing and blathering every other year the same nonsense
without any outcome. Do you have a mission? Do you have a goal?
Have we seen any contribution, any code from you side of the last decade?
