Because silicon is virtual! The advantages of designing on the fly are immense, because feedback is informing the design. How many carefully constructed paper designs can anticipate the problems and opportunities that becoma apparent during testing? There has been much interesting dicussion about motivation for software quality. I owuld like to add that a sole author is responsible for design and coding and is therefore likely to be highly motivated. There is noone else to blame! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PPIG Discuss List ([email protected]) Discuss admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/discuss Announce admin: http://limitlessmail.net/mailman/listinfo/announce PPIG Discuss archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40ppig.org/
