Smart by association

If being a REST advocate makes me cool by association, does reading Bill de hÓra’s blog make me smart by association?

Bill’s Matchstick Men post is making a bit of a stir out there. I can’t embellish on it, but I like the double entendre of his use of the phrase “matchstick men.” And Bill’s comment to Dan Diephouse needs pointing out in case it goes unnoticed: “I think we need to talk about how “REST as in the HTTP Web, sucks”, before it becomes another silver bullet.” Hear, hear!

    To qualify for “Cool By Association” you need to present evidence that you:
    a) Ignored HTTP verbs that have only three letters.
    b) Invented at least one protocol able to abstract HTTP away.
    c) Retained said inventions and extended it with a REST profile.
    d) Loosely coupled that profile with a press release.

    On a serious note, I used to naively think that if I inspect assumptions, put things in perspective, and review them once in a while I’d be doing good for me and those around me. I still feel that way. But I long learned that those who want to believe a silver bullet exists do not tolerate such foolishness.

    Dumb: I bought two books recently. One was called “Information Retrieval: Algorithms and Heuristics” and was reading it over the weekend. Or trying to. By the time I got to the material on Bayesian, I was getting lost. However this……
