Mar 30, 2016 at 18:12 comment added Jörg W Mittag @user949300: The fact that the set of verbs is fixed, precisely avoids the problem I mentioned, namely that you can formulate sentences in multiple different ways, thus making what is a noun and what is a verb dependent on writing style and not domain analysis.
Dec 7, 2013 at 4:48 comment added user949300 I wouldn't say the Verb/Noun methodology is "ridiculous". I'd say that simplistic designs will fail and that it is very hard to get right. Because, counterexample, isn't a RESTful API a Verb/Noun methodology? Where, for an extra degree of difficulty, the verbs are extremely limited?

Dec 4, 2013 at 11:24 comment added Marjan Venema "...because it depends so much on how you formulate a sentence." Yay! Oh and I do love your banking example. Never knew that all the way back in the eighties I was already taught functional programming :) (data centric design and time-independent storage where balances etc. are computable and should not be stored, and someone's address should not be changed, but stored as a new fact)...
Dec 4, 2013 at 10:29 comment added Pierre Arlaud I like your haskell comparisons, it makes the answer a bit more… fresh. What would you then say about designs that allow an ActionRecord to both be a model and a Database requester? No matter the context it seems to be breaking the single-responsibility principle.
