Just one thing: if intuition had nothing to do with programming then I guess we wouldn't all be spending so much time designing APIs that aim to be intuitively useful.
That is classical logical fallacy.
First step to programming is reading the documentation.
Reading doesn't require intuition. | [reply] |
oh come on - if we are talking about code and APIs then intuitive usability is what everybody is going for. That's simply a philosphy/point of view, whatever you want to call it but certainly not "logical fallacy".
Anyway, in this case it's not about the API of CGI.pm not being intuitive but about the fact that a file "upload" in CGI.pm is a simple read/write and not something involving any network traffic at all which is, at first, not so intuitive. Even reading the manual you might, at first, not quite understand and then ask here for clarification. I can't see anything wrong with that. Anyway, enough for one thread...

Hi,
have you stopped beating your wife yet? Oh come on, stop lying.
Do you see how that works? You keep pushing intuition like its the topic of discussion.

If you have ESP, why not answer his question directly?
