Mar 20, 2013 at 1:13 comment added Slipp D. Thompson I think it's worth noting that “best” in this context more accurately means “optimal”. Given enough restraints on a problem and a target intent (speed, minimalism, simplicity, etc.) there is often only a handful of applicable solutions, if not a single solution that has long been accepted as the most-optimal solution in existence for the problem space. And this seems like exactly the kind of wisdom people asking questions and seeking answers on SO often want and can't find elsewhere (I know I often am).
