| SonicBrit | Over EngineeringSo the way I write code these days is to think through the problem before I write a single line of code, before I would just write code and tweak it as I go along.
So now I find myself over thinking the problem and concentrating more on thinking about possible bugs etc, rather then writing code.
Just wondering does anyone else do this? | 2008-12-26 | 2:34 PM |
| Brandon | Re:Over EngineeringYeah, I think so. I find I think about coding and the theory, more than I actually code. | 2008-12-26 | 2:56 PM |
| Todd | Re:Over EngineeringYeah I usually think out a program before I write it. I examine all the possibilities and the concepts that make it up, whether or not it's possible. | 2008-12-26 | 5:05 PM |
| pharoah | Re:Over EngineeringYes. Back when I would write GUIs I'd spend days writing up specifications for how parts of it would work, for what arrays I'd use, etc... I'd also do mockups of the windowing system in paint and on graph paper. Since i could never perfect my system I rarely finished anything. | 2008-12-26 | 7:08 PM |
| Re:Over EngineeringI normally think up a gui while writing it but if I'm fresh out of ideas, I'll draw a simple plain interface on paper and sketch other cool things on as well. Mainly only multi-Tasking is what I sketch. After coding a first part I run it, then add more onto it, When I'm happy i move on to the next bit. Sufficient but works well.. for me. | 2008-12-26 | 7:50 PM |
