]]> Comment on Labels, labels, everywhere… by Max J. Pucher - Chief Architect ISIS Papyrus Software http://www.tomshepherd.net/?p=162&cpage=1#comment-208 Max J. Pucher - Chief Architect ISIS Papyrus Software Sun, 21 Nov 2010 18:21:35 +0000 http://www.tomshepherd.net/?p=162#comment-208 Hi Tom, I often rave against TLA's and it is simply useless. As you say it is a human element to try and generalize everything. In software the reason is to a large part to make something comparable that really isn't. Thus the analysts mostly create those TLAs and then the vendors start feature list wars. Maybe at some point in the future it will be en-vogue again to have inhouse IT skills who can actually understand software and deal with a product trial or proof of concept. That is the only time when you find out if it does what is needed. Once you do that who cares if it can be generalized under a TLA or not. Kind regards, Max Hi Tom, I often rave against TLA’s and it is simply useless. As you say it is a human element to try and generalize everything.

Once you do that who cares if it can be generalized under a TLA or not.

Kind regards, Max
