IMO the Wikipedia definition is too restrictive. SSE is common even if the first design wasn't small, elegant or successful.

- ohyes 16y agoI agree, rewriting software, even ugly but well debugged software, is bad. (Debugging is 90% of software development). But this isn't even debugged. I write a prototype to learn the technologies for a given project all the time. It is the first step in my development cycle (How the hell does this stuff work?) I don't design it, I just start hacking. Once I have an understanding of how the various pieces are able to fit together, then I make a design and put together the first system. My point is that I don't think this is complete or well-implemented enough to comprise a first system. (And it isn't, it is an alpha).
