Matt<p><strong>Terence Eden on the oddly narrow definition of family</strong></p><p>I was recently browsing some blogs and came upon Terence Eden’s Blog and a post titled <a href="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/03/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-families/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Families</a>. I have no doubt that much of the oddly limited definition of family comes from oddly narrow ideas. I think some of it comes from not thinking about the users who use your system.</p><p>For example, I’ve seen family tickets which cover two adults and two children. That’d be no good for us growing up. I had three siblings; two of us would be left out under this limited definition.</p><p>The thing about people is that we rarely fit into the neatly defined boxes that executives and marketing agencies try to put us in. </p><p>The same limitation applies to names. I have a friend who had to invent a surname to make life easier because, without one of those, a lot of computer systems got very confused.</p><p>Programmers encounter similar limits for email validation, dates, time zones, leap years, and non-standard addresses. I think this is because programmers have yet to encounter all the many edge cases that make good data validation a truly horrible problem to solve well.</p><p>But, yeah, they also misunderstand what makes a family. We need should change the general awareness of what a family is. Starting with how many adults and minors make up any given family unit.</p><p></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/family/" target="_blank">#family</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/lies/" target="_blank">#lies</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/non-standard/" target="_blank">#nonStandard</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/programmers/" target="_blank">#programmers</a></p>
