stability and efficiency shouldn't be the only factors you focus on. An empty loop is pretty fast and stable, but wouldn't solve most of the problems you're expected to solve. It sounds like you're just taking all the other factors for granted, where in reality they're as hard or harder to get right as stability and efficiency.
- bediger 16y agoActually, I was just trying to point out that the word "quality" means different things to people. I was only giving a rather flip example. As you point out, my definition has a trivial degenerate case. But if I want to make a point about vendors peddling "enterprise" software relying on Vice President's defining "quality" differently than a developer would, I need that snappy counterexample.
