A great software is one that does what it needs to do without surprises. Nobody like surprises. Like what makes a light switch great? I should be able to toggle the light safely and reliably.
Unlike a light switch a software does not live in a static environment, so it must be able to keep changing.
A software is like a plant, you want stability (no surprises) and adaptability within the resources that are available.
- harrisreynolds 5y agoLove this. It speaks to the fact that software solving complex and changing problems is never finished! Adaptability, maintainability, reasonability etc are virtues that are difficult to overstate.
