Should you identify objects by name and refer to these objects using this same name or should objects have a unique identifier and then be referred to using an alias? Well, Sean McGrath (alias: Master Foo or CTO Propylon) gives quite a compelling argument for the latter in his latest column for ITworld.
Master Foo and the naming ceremony
Should I have directly linked to the article on the ITworld web-site or should I have linked to the article's introduction on Sean McGraths blog? I decided to directly link to the ITworld article because it brings you immediately to the article that I wanted you to read, otherwise half of you wouldn't have found the article or would have forgotten what they were looking for or would have assumed that the summary on the blog was all there was to it.
This brings me to Tim Bray's article On Linking.
