Periodic reminder: Computer software is full of bugs and hard to create and modify
Pontifications
Just in case anybody forgot :-) :
- Coding a command line script that 1 person uses, usually the person writing it, is easy.
- Coding a mass market app means lots of bugs and it is hard to create and modify apps.
- Our greatest failure is our failure to communicate the above two statements.
- Hopefully this will change in the future and we’ll have secure, true software components that make software development for the masses pleasant and easy.
