The discipline requires considerable programming and computing knowledge, as well as visualization, so that the insights extracted from the data can be presented in a way that reinforces human cognition. Many complex models attempt to deal with the deadlock problem—with backoff-and-retry protocols, for example—but they require strict discipline by programmers, and some introduce their own problems (e.g., livelock). I wrote a response, explaining where Dijkstra was coming from, and I am very happy with how it . Thus the discipline of programming has become blurred. Dijkstra introduces a function called wp for "weakest precondition". Programming can mean a number of. For further details, see Dijkstra's book "A Discipline of Programming". People often use this as an example to show that Dijkstra was excessively doctrinaire, and out of touch with the reality of programming, but usually it's because they don't know what his argument was. Perhaps a step back in In Problem Seeking , the classic quote and discipline separation was stated as "Programming is problem seeing, design is problem solving. The reaction of these teams suggested their levels of discipline with various practices. Programming is unfortunately such a general term these days that I often find myself cringing at its use in broader contexts.
