Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: (addendum) How easy/simple is cfengine? Author: neilhwatson Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,24353,24373#msg-24373
While I'm only a programmer by necessity I did find this talk on simplicity very interesting. Some key points for me follow. A bugs is a problem that has passed all required tests. A bug points to a flaw is testing even more than it points to a flaw in the program. Simple does not mean short. Recently we had a discussion on templating promises. There was desire by some to shorten such promises from two in number to just one, citing simplicity. Similarly there is often a desire for complex data structures that allow for shorter promises by the use of looping. This is not always a simple approach. It is easy since it involves less typing. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
