Ah the million dollar statement. Ofc you can make something completely right, that ”race car” project but then someone says “but I want a bus” and you transform it as fast as possible to a bus and somewhere half way through someone comes along and say “why isn’t it flying”.
- fsloth 9y agoI've never worked anywhere in 18 years where the goals of a project weren't at least limited to the correct 'vehicle class'. Implementation details sure can change but that's why "fast and disciplined" is good - you learn to implement the software in a manner where you understand the changes needed based on concrete principles rather than a mad dash of copy-and-pasting. By 'disciplined' I don't mean that the program fullfills the dogmatic mandates of some system development philosophy - just that the software is written on solid principles that at least the author understands.
