"Why Developers Should Be Force-Fed State Machines"
https://shopifyengineering.myshopify.com/blogs/engineering/17488160-wh…
I always thought all computer science students had to take a compilers course, or some course on theory of computation that required some level of competency in lexing/scanning/tokenizing and parsing. This blog post appears to be directed at "web application developers" who lack "awareness about state machines".
