I can see some merit in this, a story will often reveal the problem better than cold analytics, but I have to say I still think the common approach of defining the objects and then the actors is going to get a better outcome.
- mannykannot 9y agoThose objects and actors come initially from a story, and how you tell that story may affect how well you define them. Defining the objects, the actors, and their interactions is part of writing prose, but there is more: you have to present them in a logically consistent manner, and furthermore in such an order that the reader is not confronted with an idea she has not yet been prepared for. The way that the components of a program are assembled has analogous consistency and ordering requirements. Writing a program is a bit like writing a specific form of prose: an argument for a proposition. In the case of programming, the proposition is that the program will do whatever it is that you require of it.
