You don't trust programmers to know if they've written pure functions, but you trust programmers to write logic that always gets cache key management right. Okay. You don't believe it's possible to test caching the result of pure functions, but you rigorously write test cases for manual caching operations. I'm starting to get the idea you don't trust functions or don't understand the isomorphisms of abstractions like functions.	[reply]

Memoize is a too-clever-by-half approach blah blah blah FUD you: I would instead resort to “more pedantic” logic that is objectively testable also you: Do Not Do A Thing Already Done.™ No matter what it is that you need to do, there are already many CPAN modules to do it. “Build,” of course, means “use CPAN shamelessly.” Whatever you're doing, you're not the first one to be doing it. So, don't build anything from scratch.	[reply]

Our worst user, much of the repeated nonsense boils down to a 'do as I say, not as I do' responses. As you correctly point out here this user is a terrible hypocrite.	[reply]
