Programming by evolutionary process. You may get to the solution eventually, but damn if it's the slowest and most brain dead way to get there. Potential for falling into local minimum is so great it strikes me as almost a fraud.
Do people really pay for this kind of work?
- waterlink 10y agoYes, they do, and pretty good. Because it is actually faster and less error-prone once you get familiar with Evolutionary Design. A good read from M. Fowler: http://martinfowler.com/articles/designDead.html http://martinfowler.com/articles/designDead.html - this talks, why a lot of Extreme Programming practices come into the synergy to make Evolutional Design effective (and not only). Drop enough of these practices, indeed, it will stop being effective.
