SOLID is cargo cult. And trying to apply it to Go is like bringing a katana to a boxing match (sopuli.xyz)

bringing a katana to a boxing match

imminent victory?

[–] reluctant_squidd@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think the other way around would have been better.

Boxing gloves to a samurai duel.

Unless the point was to show SOLID principals as superior?

of course they are (i'm a part of the cargo cult btw)

I think "overkill" is the word that summarizes analogy.

In my langauge there is a proverb: "to shoot sparrow with a cannon".

Killing opponent with katana in boxing match is not a victory by boxing rules. You have to fight barehanded.
