Programming by Hyperbole Einar W. Høst
Take a small task from work Take a small
but real problem you encounter at work.
Bring it back home where no-‐one can ques@on
your ra@onale.
Apply hyperbole to exaggerate, distort &
bend it.
(Blog about it and put it on github.)
What is hyperbole?
Normal Normal HYPERBOLE NORMAL
Normal You see a string in your program
and you think... NORMAL
Normal “Yup, that’s a string.” NORMAL
“Hey, that’s a string.” HYPERBOLE You see a
string in your program and you think...
“Hey, that’s a string.” HYPERBOLE “I could put
a programming language in there.”
Why?
None
Understanding is limited
Understanding is par@al
Understanding is full of myths and half-‐truths
Understanding is misunderstanding
Understanding is plain wrong
Understanding is not improved at work
Hyperbole helps
Hyperbole by Example
5 + 2 * 3 Actual Business Case
In my HTML form, how can I validate that a DateTime value is between two other DateTime values?
5 + 2 * 3 ASP.NET MVC Model Valida@on
5 + 2 * 3 ASP.NET MVC Model Valida@on
public class User { [ Required ] public string UserName { get; set; } [ Required ] [ MinLength(12) ] public string Password { get; set; } }

Custom valida@on to solve a very specific problem.
5 + 2 * 3 Hyperbolic Developer Ques@on
Is there a generic solu@on?
5 + 2 * 3 Hyperbolic Developer Ques@on
What would be the ul@mate approach?
5 + 2 * 3 Hyperbolic Developer Ques@on
Can this be solved once and for all?

What is the final word on valida@on?

5 + 2 * 3 Custom Valida@on Adribute
[ Custom(........) ]
5 + 2 * 3 Custom Valida@on Adribute
[ Custom(........) ] Severely limited
5 + 2 * 3 Custom Valida@on Adribute
[ Custom(“foo”) ] ...but strings are OK
5 + 2 * 3 Custom Valida@on Adribute
[ Custom(“foo”) ] ...strings are OK?
5 + 2 * 3 Custom Valida@on Adribute
[ Custom(“foo”) ] I could put a programming language in there!
5 + 2 * 3 My Hyperbolic Idea
Create a rule DSL for expressing arbitrary constraints on property values in a LISP-‐like syntax.
5 + 2 * 3 Why?
5 + 2 * 3 Why? Do. Or
do not. There is no why.
5 + 2 * 3 Why? If it
fits, I sits
5 + 2 * 3 Why? > Custom

(+ 5 (* 2 3)) [ Mkay(“(and (> A)
(< B))”) ] Introducing Mkay One valida@on adribute to rule them all
(+ 5 (* 2 3)) Mkay expressions >

(+ 5 (* 2 3)) Example #1 [
Mkay(“>= (max A B)”) ]

Mkay(“== (len .) 5”) ]
(+ 5 (* 2 3)) Example #3 [
Mkay(“and (> “31.01.2006”) (<= (now))”) ]
