Quandary (part 1)
Posted in Tech, personal on November 10th, 2009 by Chris – 1 CommentI wish to pose a question to the masses, particularly to other available software developers. Take this statement:
“The more screwed up the process, the longer you have a job.”
How does that make you feel? Does it bother or amuse you? Would you feel uncomfortable hearing it from a coworker? A boss? When does the statement cross the line, if ever? As a programmer, you strive to produce the best product possible. When is there a “good enough” point? If something is broken, but acceptable, is that ethically capable of being released? Is a project that has no (unit, acceptance, ui, etc.) testing capable of release?
Let me know in the comments.
