Model-View-Controller — Misunderstood and Misused
paradox1x writes "Malcolm Tredinnick shares a terrific rant against the misunderstanding and misuse of the Model-View-Controller design pattern. In particular he takes issue with the notion that Django should be considered an MVC framework. He says that 'It's as valid as saying it's a "circus support mechanism," since the statement is both true, in some contexts, and false in others (you can definitely use Django-based code to help run your circus; stop looking so skeptical).' I'm not sure I agree with the entire piece, but it is a very good read." We recently discussed another look at the bending and stretching of MVC patterns in the world of Web development.
Since when did they let long winded douchebags with nothing to say have blogs?
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
The purest algorithms never touch a keyboard; only pencil, paper, and thought.

Author is Pedantic
No he isn't. He critisizes the incorrect use and application of the term MVC and the misconception and the pointless enforcement of a wrong concept of MVC in places where it is often more than pointless to do so. Like in most modern web application scenarious.
I think you just pretty much quoted the dictionary definition of a pedant, specifically definition 2B.
Rather a lot like I'm doing now. </pedantic>
