software is like prose.
Writing software - is an act of self-expression like it is for an artist or writer.
Everybody wants to write his/her masterpiece in his/her own way, and not always agree with the way others do it.
same with scientific community - two scientists cant agree on two ways to conduct scientific experiment, because they want to express themselves in this act
- Solvency 3y agoActually, some people want to write his/her own masterpiece in their own way. Others just want to write literally anything to get the job done and be on with it. Others resent the fact they're being forced to write it in the first place. There are likely many other archetypes I'm ignoring too. But even reconciling these 3 together is what leads to everything regressing to the mean amount of suckiness.
- slt2021 3y ago> Others just want to write literally anything to get the job done and be on with it. this is not compatible in team-based software development. Once you want to collaborate with others, the #1 priority becomes not "anything that gets job done", but "anything that team can read, maintain, support, and continue developing" if you are solo dev or writing bash scripts for your own workflow - then of course you can use anything literally, as long as it is on your computer and nobody sees it
