Again, frantic hand-waving and pointing fingers, filled to the brim with logical fallacies. I can only imagine what kind of work culture exists in your company that you keep repeating the same tired, generic excuses that I've heard thousands of times before, thinking that they're not fallacies.
The fact that you and many others in this industry think these arguments are in any way rational or defensible puts our industry to shame.
- gregjor 5y agoI freelance supporting legacy software. I wrote that already. There’s no culture in my company, just me. There’s a difference between an explanation and an excuse, and between counterexamples and “hand waving.” I’m sure it makes you feel superior to dismiss opinions and comments with vague references to logical fallacies or indefensible arguments, but just hauling out big words doesn’t make you right, or even make any sense. I can’t fix everything wrong with software development. I’ve been doing it for 40 years and we just keep making the same mistakes. My small contribution is fixing broken code one customer at a time, at least leaving the campsite cleaner than I found it. I don’t lose a lot of sleep over our collective failure to write perfect software.
