Lifestyle choice?

Is this a nature vs. nurture discussion on MVVM?

No, it's a lifestyle choice.

Actually, it's an observation about Unicorns.  OK, are we clear?

MVVM is a lifestyle choice because writing clean maintainable code will lead you to have a successful career and thus increase your sex appeal.

Non-MVVM (like) styles of development lead to reduced code maintainability, more personal stress and as such erectile dysfunction.

 

And that’s all I’m going to say about that.

(Generally speaking Silverlight & WPF developers are more virile than their counterparts elsewhere. It’s a fact.)

LOL!  Exactly.  The erectile dysfunction bit sounds rough.  I'll stick with MVVM, thank you very much.

Agreed and the MVVM lifestyle is a 50 ft. yacht with caviar, moet, grey poupon and neon unicorns.

Mike, we need to make you a cruise director.  Programming aboard ship... Is there any other way?

I think Mike is onto something.  Neon unicorns is the masterstroke!  Pure Genius. 

If we ever have a WPF Disciples Cruise, we now have minimum criteria.

Anything less is uncivilized.

The six life-saving healthy habits:

* not smoking
* daily exercise
* prudent eating
* consuming moderate amounts of alcohol
* maintaining a healthy weight
* practice MVVM

I've got the first and the last two covered.

I now have all but one of them - I leave it as an exercise for the reader to work out which one that is (Sacha can probably guess, what with me being a Geordie).

Apparently it take longer than 7 years for the impact of MVVM on yacht-ownage to make itself known.  Either that or I have other compensating weaknesses...

So, you're a private class that won't compile. A poor choice Mr G, surely you should be:
 
public class Marlon : ViewModelBase { }
Or
 
public class Marlon : DependencyObject { }

I'll have a think, but possibly a recursive A* algo as a lambda. Hmmmm - I might knock one of those up - it would be handy for a routing algo that I'm working on.
