That's a great idea. Prototype must look like a prototype

• NateEag 4y ago
  Not even just "look like a prototype" - a prototype must be _incomplete_. If it's not? You have a solution, so of course it's going to be deployed. The fact that your solution is gonna fall over due to being brittle code is really unfortunate, but it was avoidable if you'd just built a prototype instead of a product.

    I mean that's easier said than done in some cases. If your manager wants you to build a complete version of the functionality, just one that is very "quick and dirty" there isn't a whole lot you can do to make it not fully functional short of flat out refusing

      Sure, but as noted that isn't a prototype - it's a sloppy product. That's when it's time to have a frank discussion about whether that's really what they want (and maybe to consider whether this project is really what you want to be working on, if it's a common pattern).
