@onierstrasz good to hear from you! i'm just repeating @yourdon and constantine's original definition. 2:34 PM Nov 21st from Beak
@rjocham "sub-element"--the methods in kevlin's stateless class are sub-elements, cohesive if changes propogate from one to others 2:27 PM Nov 21st from Beak
@KevlinHenney i'm confused too. for me cohesion is the probability that a change to one sub-elt will propogate to other sub-elts 7:43 AM Nov 21st from Beak

@rbates paying attention to boot time demonstrates that you care about the user as opposed to microsoft's tragedy of the boot time commons. 2:22 PM Nov 19th from TweetDeck in reply to rbates
