Hi Andrew, Stephane, thanks for the read. It was interesting, albeit a bit confusing at times. I do like your evaluation of the thesis. 2017-10-12 23:10 GMT+02:00 Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.self@gmail.com>:
Thanks Andrew I read it fast and I will reread it. It is really interesting to me because I never took the time to understand "worse is better".
Reading through "worse is better", and the follow-up "worse is better is worse" by the same author, I'm not sure there is much to understand ;) Apart if you want to study how a misunderstood quote can become a driving force in software development... Thierry

This is an article not specifically about Pharo, rather on the state of the industry in general and how it got that way, but positing Pharo as a way to learn building-on rather than building-with, where in the latter case on every project you start at essentially the same place.
As a result it does put in front of people a fair amount of info on Pharo, and challenges them to try it.
cheers
