    I wouldn't say categories are the root of all evil but they are pretty bad and you should think carefully and probably not use them.

      (Categories, for those not versed in the dark arts of obj-c, are a way to add functionality to a class without subclassing it.)

          Hiring is winning, but those taking an interest in categories are much more vocal. Do I pander to the noise, though. catehstn/694881819884441604

            I ignored the popular vote and instead ranted about categories and look at the picture I found to illustrate it - upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6b/Rubens_Medusa.jpeg

              Categories are the Frankenstein's monster of Composition over Inheritance.
