2011 college me liked his ideas. The me of today rolls my eyes. I want to finish this bugfix/feature and get home to my family. I cleaned up a few times after cowboy coders, it's never fun or enlightening.
- codesnik 4y agowell, you've cleaned something existing and running, and also received some money doing that. Who knows, maybe with uptight approach those things would never happen.
- nixpulvis 4y agoThere's a balance to all things. _why's message lands aptly upon those who cannot see the value in experimentalism. It takes a backwards kind of discipline to force yourself to push code you know isn't perfect. Sometimes seeing the whole before each part. This mentality is what led me to my own methodology: Write everything twice, from scratch". Of course, in practice there's never enough time for as much experimentation and rewriting as we'd like. Still I believe it's an ideal worth aspiring towards.
