@devnull@mamot.f We'll have to disagree. Coding IS easy when compared to getting straight answers from prospective user and meeting their highly and rapidly variable demands while keeping them cognisant of security and useability. My experience may vary from yours as I started in machine language in the 70s, then assembler, then into the C variants, and so on, until I stopped doing it for a living 15 years ago. @maaikees@sw-development-is.social

@devnull@mamot.fr @PeterLG@theblower.au @maaikees@sw-development-is.social Even if you are correct you are still wrong. Most times requirements change so most code ends up thrown away a few years (more likely months (more likely weeks)) later. Code quality does not matter under those circumstances. It *does* matter on the few places where you *know* it will last. Sucessful software platforms/languages (js,java,.net,gnu/linux,flash,ms-excel,etc) are successful because they allowed lots of crappy code to mostly coexist.
