Programming Analogies

So, we all make them. Just, uh...Some of ours are a little, well, "different" than others. :mrgreen:

So lets hear it! You got any strange ones you find yourself making?

Raise your hand if you prefer "Manager" to "Factory"? I'm sure everybody does "parent->child"...Anybody go beyond that, and have like, "father->daughter"? Any you find yourself re-using a certain one quite frequently?

Just for the shingles, and good natured discussion. ;)

ps: shingles, is a pretty nasty reactivation of the chicken pox virus. Old people get it a bunch.

well when I use the whole 'parent -> child' analogy, I go too far sometimes... I end up creating the most red neck family with marriages, divorces, and second cousins, and lose the point I'm trying to make with the analogy....

/me raises hand. Manager >>>> factory! Mainly because I don't use actual factories, since that isn't their exclusive function. And for loading stuff from a file I use "loader" rather than "factory"
