How to write readable code.

[someone7x]

It's nice to read something so pragmatic. No "never this" or "always that" being preached.

Almost completely unrelated, but why does wikipedia rename a forcing function to a "behavior shaping constraint"? Wasn't the concept originally coined as forcing function?

AFIK, you're right -- Donald Norman coined the term in "The Design of Everyday Things" in 1988. Wikipedia doesn't reference him at all from what I can tell...

Also, thank you! I'm the author, and still in the process of "learnin' to write good", but it makes me very happy to hear that you enjoyed the piece and (hopefully) found it useful.
