Programming as Theory Building

Peter Naur

Peter Naur's classic 1985 essay "Programming as Theory Building" argues that a program is not its source code. A program is a shared mental construct (he uses the word theory) that lives in the minds of the people who work on it. If you lose the people, you lose the program. The code is merely a written representation of the program, and it's lossy, so you can't reconstruct

// Personally I prefer the script to handle request failures, hence muteHTTPExceptions = true
var fetchArgs = {
  contentType: "application/json",
  headers: {"Authorization":"Basic [Your BASE64 Encoded user:pass]"},
  muteHttpExceptions : true
