When in design phase i program at the keyboard. Just to try out the ideas right? Then do a prototype. Its is all part of making a design. Then do a full blown paper program then code it. There is no substitute for a well though out design. It is a long process. Thats why we reuse code right? so we minimise reinventing the wheel like we are all prone to doing. Now debugging is means a lot of things. And it can only be be done well if you know the program. And a well thought out program is easy to debug. Debugging is necessary because we just can not foresee all cases or circumstance that a program is going to run under. Paranoia might serve us well to minimise bugs but that is a debatable point. > > _ > Philippine Linux Users Group.
