The longer I've coded in practice, the more suspicious I've gotten about "you don't need any domain knowledge, here are perfect specifications" approaches. The fingers on the keyboard should always have some grasp of the bigger picture, or bad things are likely to happen.
- pjmlp 10y agoFully agree, I never understood the stereotype of coder closed in a cubicle breaking LOC records, coding without any other knowledge than programing language and libraries. I always have spent a big part of my time interacting with those that would eventually use the programs/libraries. Without domain knowledge and communication skills, there is a high probability of misunderstandings.
