[PRL] Law of Demeter still going strong at Google

[Karl Lieberherr]

When I came back from the celebration of my work with my students
over the last 26 years and the endowed Lieberherr Fund (funded primarily by Ian
and Pam Holland), I found this message in my mailbox. John Lamping
worked before at Xerox PARC on aspects etc.

The Law of Demeter seems to be not only a household word but at least at Google
it is a toilet word for this week.

I think this is the missing Demeter joke that Larry was looking for :-)

Karl,

It has been a long time since we talked.

I was just reminded of you.  I work at Google now, where there is a
home-brew "testing on the toilet" series of one page pieces of coding
or testing advice posted so you can read them as you answer the call
of nature.

They change every week, and the new one is the Law of Demeter!
