You specifically said correctness. You brought up speed and maintainability. I specifically want to know how _incorrect_ code, which is code that doesn’t perform its intended function, can make a business money or have any value at all.
- Jtsummers 6y agoThe project I described is arguably incorrect, it did not fully satisfy the customer needs for many reasons. It was unstable, it had errors in its outputs, but it was correct enough that they still bought it. It brings in millions a year in revenue, even though there is competition (though not much) in that niche market. There is a wide span between totally 100% correct and totally 100% incorrect code. Most software sits between the two.
