Between the responses here and on the more recent Chrome for business posting, i find myself wonder if there is a ever widening split between the "push to prod" web dev mentality, and the "clasic software" mentality.
- scaryclam 10y agoI think there's always been a "just ship it" and "let's make sure it's well tested" split. I find that there's also the cowboy coders, who tend to create nasty problems constantly pushing to production and breaking things for users, and the folks who push to production often but make sure what they've pushed is well covered by unit and functional tests, as well as having been properly designed and signed off before starting work at all. The former seem to have commented a lot on this article, which I find quite sad if it's a growing trend :(
- digi_owl 10y agoI feel it is a growing trend as the net makes it easier and easier to go "release now, patch later". Except that rather than patch later it gets left in place. And then rewritten from scratch in whatever is the buzzword language of the day some years down the road as the guard changes.
