Rad ass Mimics

Wednesday March 1, 2006 - 1:11AM EDT

I was just thinking about how most people go about their lives in that normal everyday manner. Then I was thinking about that experiment with chimps and children I wrote about a while back. It was some preliminarly evidence on a greater complexity to the human practice of mimicing. The copying of what we see may be a much more complex behavior than previously thought and that has helped us from an evolutionary standpoint. The experiment, what details were given, also showed that this behavior may have detrimental effects in some cases. In that context I think how a single person even a single person's single thought or action can have effects throughout all of mankind. Is it our complex behavior of mimicry that is both a boone and bane? Will this always be the case where the human race just because of the way our minds work will be at the mercy of a few loudmouths who put themselves in front of our eyes? I guess for the few bad loudmouths we get a few good ones. Maybe as we evolve we our mimicry well develop to weed out the bad loudmouths. Maybe not.

I always hear about various programming frameworks being better and faster. Not being a supercode but someone who is competent and been exposed to a few programming languages I tend to take lightly any type of framework or system of programming. I've come to realize that in programming what matters is the end result. I don't discount how you get to that result but still the result is of most utmost importance and in the majority of cases if you start focuses on frameworks or languages or anything like that your result is going to suck no matter what. That is popular thing today in programming. Frameworks. Everyone is using frameworks for Rapid Application Development. Maybe it helps some maybe it doesn't. I do like the concept of frameworks. In fact I love it. However any arguement of what framework is better is the same as the arguement over what programming language is better. It because moot at a certain point. Where am I going with this? Oh yeah, emphasis on learning a framework. My approach to programming is simple. Logic is logic no matter what computer language it is in. I completely lost my point here, I have no idea what I am saying now. Crap. Ah well, it will come back to me another time.
