To carry the metaphor, iteration is not just about refactoring and optimizing, it’s mostly about debugging. Finding what isn’t working and trying something new.

To carry the metaphor, iteration is not just about refactoring and optimizing, it’s mostly about debugging. Finding what isn’t working and trying something new. I wrote about how I use my programming logic to “debug my art”.* The same can be applied to writing.

- StandardFuture 5y agoGreat analogy! But it's probably all three: debugging (is it correct?), refactoring (readability), optimizing (succinctness). And likely in that order. Exactly the priority ordering as in programming also. Will keep this in mind!
