It is very important to differentiate between House and Skyscraper. You can't build a skyscraper (currently) without blueprints. But you can, and it has been generally done, build houses without blueprints. It was even common to build cathedrals without formal blueprints, by the way.
You can apply the same metaphors to software ;)
- ams6110 12y agoI have built a house. You don't necessarily need professional blueprints but it's a good idea to at least have a scale drawing of your floor plan. Otherwise you won't really know how much of various building materials you will need. How many windows? What size? Where will they be positioned? Will they actually fit there? Also from a practical standpoint you probably won't be able to get a building permit without blueprints or drawings of some sort (though this varies).
