Programming as Theory Building - Peter Naur

Programming as Theory Building

Peter Naur

Peter Naur's classic 1985 essay "Programming as Theory Building" argues that a program is not its source code. A program is a shared mental construct (he uses the word theory) that lives in the minds of the people who work on it. If you lose the people, you lose the program. The code is merely a written representation of the program, and it's lossy, so you can't reconstruct

How to prevent volume mount from copying specific paths

How you can help reduce node_modules bloat

This recent reddit thread reveals discontent among the web development community about the sheer volume of stuff in a typical node_modules dir. 140MB in this case!

Is it a design flaw in npm?

Opinions in the thread varied from "I'm surprised npm even works" to "everything is fine". I'm not going to offer an opinion, just these two observations:

  1. node_modules dirs typically do contain lots of stuff that doesn't need to be there.
  2. The latest version mitigates overall size by flattening the dependency tree, but some of the bloat is beyond npm's control.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
