Fiore would just twist and throw the problem until it's obvious, solved, requirements are met or it's left for someone else to deal with. ;) Very direct. Force and control inputs, thus outputs will be ensured correct. Manhandling code has a long tradition.

Meyer would evaluate a series of varying weights of golden hammers. Try to defensive code all possible cases. Find a decisive insight into a problem.

And Polish sabre school would cut off the angles until the solution is all that remains possible. Feint all sorts of evil cases for testing.

Now the fun part is that basic principles are the same.

You write code that works and does what is required or you are not a programmer.

You win swordfights or you're dead.

Both of the swordmasters worked from first principles...
