I think the point is more clearly stated in the TDWTF Soft Coding article[0] Best quotes: > This brings us right into the definition of Soft Coding: the practice of removing “things that should be in source code” from source code and placing them in some external resource. > The whole point of software (hence, the “soft”) is that it can change that it will change. The only way to insulate your software from business rule changes is to build a completely generic program that’s devoid of all business rules yet can implement any rule. Oh, and they’ve already built that tool. It’s called C++. And Java. And C#. And Basic. And, dare I say, COBOL. [0] http://thedailywtf.com/articles/Soft_Coding |
