Isn't the point to set a deadline that allows the product to be built to a certain standard of quality? If you only ever have time to write untested copy-paste "code that fucking works" then you don't have a problem with your development approach ... unless you're convinced that's the only way to do things.
- treerock 13y agoJust reminded me of a story about the designer Peter Saville (from the film 24 Hour Party People) Tony Wilson: "You've got the posters? It's the fucking gig!" Peter Saville: "Yeah, I know - it just took ages to get the right yellow." Tony Wilson: "The gig's over." Peter Saville: "I know." Tony Wilson: "It looks fucking great actually - yeah, really nice. It's beautiful - but useless. And as William Morris once said: "Nothing useless can be truly beautiful."'
