"Real programmers use Emacs"

Here's an interesting post on Hacknot by Mr.Ed titled

Basic Critical Thinking for Software Developers

This post highlights what the author calls non-falsifiable statements which are flamebaits in disguise and trigger flame wars !!!!

Here are some of the hot flamebaits by the author:

• Open source software is more reliable than commercial software

• Agile techniques are the future of software development

• OO programming is better than structured programming

Wanna bite???

The post is well explained and iced with appropriate examples,

Quoting the author:

“ Before engaging in any debate or investigation, ensure that the proposition being considered is at least conceivably falsifiable. A common feature of non-falsifiable propositions is vagueness. “
