I bet someone who makes a living selling working code would disagree.
- myWindoonn 6y agoI make a living selling working code, but I agree. I think that, just like how monitoring needs to run at higher priority than actual production workloads, the understanding of programmers needs to be at a higher level than the understanding which is actually encoded in the actual production program.
- xiphias2 6y agoI agree as well, and the real test of understanding comes if I forget to create a backup and lose my program. Rewriting the same thing from memory when I already know how to structure the program is boring but fast.
- danlugo92 6y agoThere's no such thing as a working system. That's why space stuff has redundancies etc.
- root-z 6y agoone can argue that redundancies is part of a working system, in fact most large distributed systems are designed with redundancies.
- cccc4all 6y agoProfessional software engineers develop and sell solutions. Code by itself is meaningless, it's the application of code in certain parameters and delivering expected results, which results in solutions.
