The easy bit of software development
Posted: Thu, 5 December 2013 | permalink | No comments
I’m sure this isn’t an original thought of mine, but it just popped into my head and I think it’s something of a “fundamental truth” that all software developers need to keep in mind:
Writing software is easy. The hard part is writing software that works.
All too often, we get so caught up in the rush of building something that we forget that it has to work – and, all too often, we fail in some fundamental fashion, whether it’s “doesn’t satisfy the user’s needs” or “you just broke my $FEATURE!” (which is the context I was thinking of).
