Martin Fowler to Usurp Pattern

Indeed, Klaus deserves a good answer from Martin Fowler because of this: Klaus kept the idea alive, by means of a working implementation: Prevayler (as commented by nusco).

Martin is not obliged to accept Klaus' perspective (1), but an evasive footnote is not acceptable neither. Although obvious to Martin, his articles' readers should know some interesting pratical facts like the one stated in (2).

(1) It is called system prevalence. It encompasses transparent persistence, fault-tolerance and load-balancing.

(2) After working on a number of applications, I was most surprised to find that the most common bottleneck in a Prevalent system is not the data access and manipulation logic, but rather the Web server.

What a shame Martin Fowler, what shame...

It's pretty simple. Money. Most of Martin Fowler stuff is pretty rehashed pogs of old.

Recently I had, not one but two interviews with the same question on dependency injection. The interviewers thought dp meant to pass an interface.... It's not a surprise people are confused when you market it that way.

One has to think that the term "dependancy injection" is a bs term meant to sell books and to coin it for himself. Its too bad because it's not a bad pattern but it's marketed in such a way that confuses many people because he tries to take owner ship to extreme levels. I would have just the pattern AutoFactory or something and spoke around the "IOC" container not the trival matter of how it is so called "injected" which actually should be replaced with "passed" a variable etc etc. Shame on you Martin. Stop naming patterns stupid shit and stealing old stuff and rehashing it as your own. It would be better you never existed.
