What I do for DI...
This is connected to the "Why I hate DI..." post. It was a single post... but got stupid long... so I split it. Let's take a moment to look at what I do... do. HAHAHAHAHAHA... It's my blog, I get to laugh at that if I want to…
Why I hate DI...
... frameworks. I have a very strong aversion to Dependency Injection frameworks. Hate... is a little strong; but I'm comfortable saying I hate DI Frameworks. "But why?" I hear you ask. I mean... I actually read it. This post is the answer to that question I was asked in…
