What the fuck has one of my clients been up to?! Every request he makes he suggests we might want to do it via a function.

"We need to ensure this is password protected. Maybe wrap the calls in a function."

I wander if he goes into the bakery and says, "I need a loaf of bread---use flour."

All I can think of is that someone influential in his life is an FP zealot and he's latched onto this word.

But, I quite like FP. Maybe I'll refactor everything to static classes to meet the requirement.

Hope to Christ he doesn't find out about HTML, etc. "Maybe add a CSS rule."

    Wait 'till he learns that we call them methods in classes

    @alexbrooklyn I think he'll lose interest waaay before then. At least I hope.

    If he gets to the point of classes, methods and properties then I'll let him write the code himself.

    @platypus "Just wrap everything in the main method"

    Don't forget to teach him principles and design stuff

    'no. Function won't fly here. We definitely need a method. In fact - a few of them! Some public and some private ones. What do you think?'

    that'd be my answer :)

    This happened with my dad once when he was in a rented car.
    The driver just told him - "I'm the driver, you don't tell me how to drive".
    Worked.
