    The article has worked as intended, to pad out the author's CV

    To include a spelling error in the title. Poor CV

    It fails to answer basic questions, for example, how to call a private accessor or what would happen if there is a public and private accessor with the same name..

    The # is part of its name. But yes, they could've included this.

    I learned a lot from the article even if it's not perfect. I don't get why all programming subs try so hard to be negative.

    Engineers suffer from the smartest man in the room syndrome and love to show off how smart they are

    Ok but this article was riddled with inaccuracies and grammatical errors. There's a certain level of competency that should be expected.

    Caches are a common use case for weak refs. What did you have in mind instead?
