http://paulgraham.com/progbot.html http://paulgraham.com/progbot.html Bottom-up is the art of coding a project from scratch. If you got the mastery of it, it means you can start and finish a project very efficiently. The idea is that you make the codebase evolve, you scult it. You code like the painter paint. By doing so, you can get a prototype very quickly and then refine it into a final product. Whatever is the time you're given, you always have a working code with every features - like a painting has everything in it even when it's not finished (and it never is). The only thing that can be missing are relative details. I know it might sound like every other software development methods. The thing is that most developers are actually bad at it - that's point 1.
