"You can fix it now on the drafting board with an eraser or you can fix it later on the construction site with a sledge hammer" - Frank Loyd Wright"
Using this quote is obviously a confused analogy given that the world of physical construction and design have very little to do with the world of digital constructions. You don't need a sledgehammer, you don't need to destroy something if you make a mistake in the digital world you can in fact change it if you find out you made a mistake without having to rebuild the entire building. If your button sits the wrong place, big deal, move it somewhere else. And you can apply completely different development methodologies. Continues integration just to name one way. So if people walk around and think about their discipline in a Frank Loyd Wright frame of reference then it's no wonder things go wrong and end up with the conclusions they do. They are however based on the wrong assumptions then. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
