Excellent point. The first makers of furniture were concerned only about a peace of wood under their peace. And only generations later, after some developments in fine tools, new techniques, and huge investments from general public they stopped producing crap and "get in the habit of doing things right, watched closely, and corrected. Like someone who has learned to make fine furniture" (<-quote). The First PC was introduced to the market exactly 20 years ago, 1983. My point: we don't need to know WHY, but HOW, that's why they pay us big bucks ;-) "Carroll, Shawn" wrote:
What if coders were taught primarily by other coders, and get in the habit of doing things right, watched closely, and corrected. Like someone who has learned to make fine furniture. They wouldn't think of using the wrong tool, and are generally incapable of producing crap and letting it out the door. If there were this same ethic with programmers, and the same model of training, what do you think the state of software would look like today?
