I am honestly surprised how we went from almost OCD TDD and type purism, to a "it kinda works" attitude to software.

I am honestly surprised how we went from almost OCD TDD and type purism, to a "it kinda works" attitude to software.
- baq 1y agoalways has been, the difference is now the 'it compiles, ship it' loop is 10x-100x faster than 2 years ago
- precompute 1y agoFaster development speeds make people implicitly believe they won't be accountable for the results of their actions.
- kuschku 1y agoThere's always been both sides. One creating a foundation of absolutely stable, reliable code, methodically learning from every mistake. This code lives for many decades to come. The other building throwaway projects as fast as possible, with no regard to specs, constraints, reliability or even legality. They use ecery trick in the book, and even the ones that aren't yet. They've always been much faster than the first group. Except AI now makes the second group 10× faster yet again.
- Dilettante_ 1y agoLiterally just read a blogpost[1] about this. Gist: The two ebb and flow in waves. "It kinda works" produces innovation, OCD hones the artifacts until it runs out of material and the cycle continues.
