Re: [android-developers] Re: Can this variable become null?

Both mentalities are bad. I would actually venture to say that the "singletons are evil" mentality is worse, since enthusiasts tend to grow out of the "singletons are awesome" phase. But if someone believes that all singletons are always evil, how do you persuade them of the depth of their error? This is a much harder problem: it is a complete failure to understand what a 'pattern' even is, and why the 'forces' are so important for understanding the pattern.

So, don't really understand what all the bashing is about. It's a tool, use it correctly, and you'll be fine; use it wrong, and you could end up with a sore finger.

Word. The "Singletons are evil, if you use them you're doing something wrong" mentality is just as bad as the "Singletons are so awesome I'm going to use them for every goddamn thing" mentality.
