Bill Gates, for example, always advocated for thinking through the entire program design and data structures before writing any code, emphasizing that structure is crucial to success.
- neocron 8mo agoAh Bill Gates, the epitome of good software
- dotancohen 8mo agoYes, actually. Gates wrote great software. Microsoft is another story.
