   If there is interest, leave a comment and I will try to expand on this post.

Recently, I was working on some legacy code in Flex 3.5. We wanted to take this pile of inherited classes, and do some composition with them to make updates to the code easier. All was going well until I hit this very strange bug, where only the very last of the items in a repeater was getting properly updated.

Flash.. Israel of the Internet?

I read a pro-Israel article on my android phone today.  I mention this because normally, all the news articles which I get in my news feed about Israel has some not nice things to say.  And I don't just mean that they aren't nice because I disagree with them. They aren't nice because many of the facts sited, when searched on the internet, are shown to be false.

Ok, I'm coding an Angel... Now what?

Avi, The problem is, coding Angels is often more expensive than coding demons. It requires better planning, more time, everyone's buy-in, discipline, documentation, good memory of where the current Angels reside, and how to quickly find them, etc. More often than not, our bosses are Devils that preffer fast demons to slow and expensive Angels. Maybe with the comming of the programming Messiah, all that will change, but Neo died in The Matrix 3, so the wait for that messianic era continues.

He makes a good point.  The world is not perfect, we aren't all working on open ended projects with a seemingly infinite amount of time to develop the fine pieces of the code.  So what is one to do?

This is the type of idea that can get everyone angry at me.
For some reason, (ok, it's not really a mystery) people have a hard time following SRP.
I have been inspired by a sudden Flash of an idea to fix this problem.
