Author here. I think you're picking a fight just to pick a fight.

For example:

> News to me that the number of interactors reflects the success of refactoring in a codebase.

In the context of the article, that was given as a proof of refactor as you go. The team chose a direction that they wanted to refactor towards. The 183 interactors are proof that they made significant progress in that direction without having to do any sort of full stops.

I'm disagreeing with the article you wrote and the way you wrote it. It read of fluff and arrogance, and I tried to respond to the points I found most objectionable; I'll be honest there were more. But nobody wants to read all that.

If my feedback was not constructive enough for you to improve your writing off of, I apologize. While I found what you wrote to be disagreeable, idealistic and in some cases downright toxic, it's only my perspective of the writing.

I'm saying that I think you misread it. The example I gave flat out doesn't support your conclusion.

Why must my opinions be disregarded as picking a fight, or as a misread? You appear more intent to dismiss than understand. I've given my honest reaction to the article - that's the best I can do.
