The technology paradigm
In order to use it, one must understand how it works.
“They show us without any hint of shame precisely how they are built:
- One button per function,
- one function per module of code,
- commands and processes that precisely echo the internal data structures and algorithms.”
“Engineers want to know how things work, and the technology paradigm is very satisfying to them, which, of course, is why so much of our software follows it.”
