I would guess that most satellite and big data code falls into the non-hard category. In my experience working with things that sound similarly challenging, it's usually the case that one person or a small group of people do most of the "hard" part early on and then a much larger team spends years doing relatively simple work expanding on the foundation they built.
- Grimm1 6y agoI think there are a lot of other issues with that and don't think your experiences reflect the norm, or at the least they certainly run counter to mine so far.
- jrott 6y agoIn my experience with being on a big data team is that most days you don't have to do anything all that hard but it always comes up eventually.
- lumost 6y agoIn my experience the stuff that comes later usually gets harder to do right. The first few features are pretty easy - the code base is small, the rules and state are simple, and there aren't any major performance issues. Later on features start coming into conflict, there's more complexity to be managed, and you've used up all of your latency budget. How often do you hear that you just need to rewrite everything at that point? How often does that payoff?
