Comment on Examining the Dependency Inversion Principle by derekgreer

Hey, Aleksandar. Thanks for reading the article. I’m not sure I follow your critique fully, but it seems that you’re suggesting that the logging interface should not be expressed in terms of a specific client’s needs, but should be generalized.

I’ve used logging as an example here, but the general purpose of the Dependency Inversion Principle is to define abstractions in terms of the client’s needs and allow implementations to facilitate those needs (see Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C# by Bob Martin). As such, my defining of a logging interface owned by the client package rather than attempting to define it in some general terms is consistent with the DIP.

You are in the wrong as to the logging.
The logger itself should be build using the DIP. Meaning that specific needs of a client application should be encapsulated in a wider interface, deriving from a more basic logging interface. This basic logging interface could be reused and derived from again in other clients. There is no drawback to DIP in this sense.

Great idea, but cloud tags lacks still something. My feeling is it needs more dimensions, e.g. I quickly want to see the programming, database or SDLC skills only.

I created the cloud myself. I tried a few online generators, but none of the results were quite what I was looking for.

Hey, I was just doing this today as well. Not sure how recruiters will see it, but other devs I talked to thought it was a good idea. How did you generate it?

From my perspective as a developer I love it. I’m not sure it will deter hungry recruiters from calling you for a Perl gig. It seems that what you want to accomplish is to let them know that you are a well rounded developer by showing them you have experience in a lot of different realms. Also, you want to communicate what you are now looking for.

If you show your work/project history and include the technologies and practices as is common for most resumes you’ll accomplish your first goal.

Then if you have a section at the top which states the type of development you are currently looking for, at least it will be clear to those who are really looking to find a good match. Again, you will still get calls and emails from careless recruiters.

There are a few really good recruiters though. These are my two favorites: Amy Bouegh Walters and Alex Naddell.

Great idea, employers/agencies don’t even have to read your cv’s 2nd page they can see it visually what you are and what technology you feel home at or you prefer
