<p>I've complained about the use of "best practices" as an argument in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>programming</span></a> myself. "this is (not) best practice" is not a great argument.</p><p>This article does so too:</p><p><a href="https://www.arp242.net/best-practices.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">arp242.net/best-practices.html</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>I'll note that many of the "best practices" he complains about he still considers good practices but argues for moderation in their application, depending on the circumstances. This kind of contextual judgment is critically important, but very difficult to communicate.</p>
