That reminds me of a little quote by Aaron Hillegass in his book "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" (p. 73):
> "Once upon a time, there was a company Taligent. Taligent was created by IBM and Apple to develop a set of tools and libraries like Cocoa. About the time Taligent reached about the peak of it's mindshare, I met one of its engineers at a trade show. I asked him to create a simple application for me: A window would appear with a button, and when the button was clicked, the words 'Hello World!' would appear in a text field. The engineer created a project and started subclassing madly: subclassing the window and the button and the event handler. The he started generating code: dozens of lines to get the button and text field on to the window. After 45 minutes, I had to leave. The app still did not work. That day, I knew that the company was doomed. A couple of years later, Taligent quietly closed its doors forever. "
