In the meantime, let this be a stub for a future post. And here true programmers may call me out for an inadequate understanding of the term stub, but therein lies the stub rub: I'm on a crash course to learn the latest concepts, nearly all of which have been bandied about for 10+ years, and some for more than twice that long. I'm not the person to best explain these terms (or use them properly) from a programming perspective. Maybe next week I will be.
But to the point of this brief placeholder post: two of the terms that really caught my attention are "Dependency Injection" and "Inversion of Control". The former is related to the "Dependency Inversion Principle" which lends itself even more to the intentions of this reflection.
Seriously? Are we talking programming or theology? Well, if you want to know what these terms mean from a programming perspective, here's a link. As for theological uses, that website may not be out there, but I'm thinking there ought to be one. Think of the applications!
For example (and here I am using only headlines taken straight from the website link provide above):
- Inversion of Control — Let God be God, and maybe you're just along for the ride?
- Dependency Injection — See above. (Those word are good for at least two meanings.)
- YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) — Applicable to how we think about earthly treasures?
- Boy Scout Rule — Applies to code and probably to good Christian living, I'd think.
Well, enough on that for now. I don't have to write any theological treatises today, and nobody else has time to read them anyway.
