Aka productivity.
- tluyben2 6y agoSure but skipping all best practices in favor of fast delivery might bite you later on.
- eru 6y agoFunctional programming is mostly touted as being able to keep productivity up in the long term. (And detractors mostly complain that it takes too long to get started, not that the long term is unmaintainable.)
- anonytrary 6y agoNot really. Sometimes the more productive thing to do is to step back and rewrite everything. The up-front cost gets amortized over the long term benefits. The asymptotics become important for a business that intends to exist far into the future.
