- all2 7y agoWell, sometimes. Paul Graham and others from the lisp-ness crowd talk about coding without a clear idea of where to go. I'm not in a place where I 'speak' any language clearly enough to write without a plan. I suppose for most enterprise stuff what you say is true (how else will we commit to coding targets we won't hit for prices we can't afford on timelines that make dog races look slow? - I suppose I'm a little early in life to be jaded, but I am familiar with bureaucratic nightmares that value image over substance).
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoHa! In the OSS world that's almost never true. Ihe specification for FUSE is the libfuse source, for instance.
