Buzzwords (2)

August 19th, 2005

Another problem I have with buzzwords is that everybody (and I mean that literally) understands something different with them. It is quite confusing to talk with somebody about "Visitor", when she really means (in my eyes) "Chain Of Command".

  • And why exactly would you use Visitor?
  • Well, it fits quite naturally here
  • No, it doesn't, we don't have a tree to walk through here
  • No, but we do have a set of solutions to walk through
  • So you mean "Chain Of Command", then?
  • No, we don't have a Command interface, only a Visitor interface
  • <continue at the top>

So far for the shortness of communication...
