That’s a quote from “Software development topics I’ve changed my mind on after 10 years in the industry,” a blog post by Chris Kiehl.
A lot of what he mentions in the post resonates with me, including:
• “Most programming should be done long before a single line of code is written.”
• “Engineering is mostly about communication.”
• “If I think something is easy, that’s a sure sign I don’t understand it.”
I wonder what his thoughts’ll be at the 20 year mark
Edited to comment on: “ORMs are the devil in all languages and all implementations. Just write the damn SQL.”
If only some of my former colleagues would read that. I argued against introducing Entity Framework into our projects and flat refused to use it myself. My time to production was always way less than half of theirs.
