As I said, if you can do this, good for you. I'm just explaining how I need to do it.
However, your whiteboard and paper is my exploratory programming. I don't see it as it being that different.
- bayindirh 3y agoHonestly, you said "I doubt you do", so this is why I wrote this long answer. I just visualize the problem on paper. You have this, you want this, and to go from A to B, we need to do this, etc. Exploratory programming is nothing bad, or what I do is nothing good or exceptional. Humans' brains are wired differently, and as long as we arrive to the point we want, it's all good in my eyes. There's no superiority in any of the methods. We're just cooking the same food differently. That's all.
- MarceColl 3y agoYeah, sorry if it sounded harsh, what I meant is that I doubt someone hears of problem, gets coding immediately, and a very good result comes out. We need a way of reasoning and investigating the problem for some people is sit and think about the problem, for some people it is writing things down, and for some people is get going with exploratory programming.
- bayindirh 3y ago> Yeah, sorry if it sounded harsh It wasn't harsh, but it felt like being labeled as deluder, which I don't like a bit. > (S)omeone hears of problem, gets coding immediately, and a very good result comes out. No, that's not possible from my experience. You need that problem to ferment a little in your mind to understand the problem in its entirety, or more realistically to the point you know the domain. Experience makes the process faster, but not instant. > We need a way of reasoning and investigating the problem... Of course, this is why I exactly said that we need a way, and it can be any way, as long as it works.
