Programming by Hyperbole Einar W. Høst
Take a small task from work Take a small
but real problem you encounter at work.
Bring it back home where no-‐one can ques@on
your ra@onale.
Apply hyperbole to exaggerate, distort &
bend it.
(Blog about it and put it on github.)
What is hyperbole?
Normal Normal HYPERBOLE NORMAL
Normal You see a string in your program
and you think... NORMAL
Normal “Yup, that’s a string.” NORMAL
“Hey, that’s a string.” HYPERBOLE You see a
string in your program and you think...
“Hey, that’s a string.” HYPERBOLE “I could put
a programming language in there.”
Why?
None
Understanding is limited
Understanding is par@al
Understanding is full of myths and half-‐truths
Understanding is misunderstanding
Understanding is plain wrong
Understanding is not improved at work
Hyperbole helps
Hyperbole by Example
5 + 2 * 3 Actual Business Case
In my HTML form, how can I validate that a DateTime value is between two other DateTime values?

Is there a generic solu@on?

What would be the ul@mate approach?

Can this be solved once and for all?

[ Custom(“foo”) ] ...strings are OK?
5 + 2 * 3 Custom Valida@on Adribute
[ Custom(“foo”) ] I could put a programming language in there!
5 + 2 * 3 My Hyperbolic Idea
Create a rule DSL for expressing arbitrary constraints on property values in a LISP-‐like syntax.
5 + 2 * 3 Why?
5 + 2 * 3 Why? Do. Or
do not. There is no why.
5 + 2 * 3 Why? If it
fits, I sits
