The Moths of Programming 1 - Global Variables Are Bad
The Moths of Programming with Dino Dini03/30/20 • 29 min
The moths of programming are ideas in the software engineering industry that have become pervasive due to virality rather than reality. Although they may have some truth to them, they are often inaccurate, misleading, distracting or even damaging. I call them moths because they flutter around in a programmer's mind, getting in the way of truly good practice.
This first chapter considers the classic moth "Global Variables Are Bad". I believe this moth is a hangover from times gone by with the limitations of early programming languages, and is no longer relevant. Further an obsession with this moth has closed the minds of programmers everywhere to better way of organizing code, perhaps causing untold damage.
The smoking gun? Singletons.
