Whether marble or clay, both ideally take into consideration the fact that he/she who write it today may not be he/she who maintains it tomorrow.
When stuck between longevity v less durable, maintainability should be the deciding factor.
- pests 3y agoPart of my point though was that the bridge builder of today does not need to take into consideration that the person maintaining it 20 years from now will have to deal with gravity changing. So they can make certain assumptions that will be impossible for future maintainers to ever undo. Software doesn't have these set-in-stone never-changing requirements. I think we are making similar points.
