> I believe a perfect solution exists. The article seems too focused on over-engineering. Achieving 100% is often much much harder than, say,
95% or so. Just good enough. This is the old "Worse
is better" problem. Why did Linux outcompete, say,
Minix or something else? Worse is better is a more
practical focus. You don't need to achieve 100%
perfect per se. Momentum is often more important.
You can still have a lot of efficiency if the momentum
is the main driver. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worse_is_better Perfection is nice in theory; in practice it will be
whacked into submission by the worse-is-better speedy
wizards. The hobo programmers built for speed. You make
fun of them. Then the top 500 supercomputers all use what
they wrote ... like Gandhi they were winning. |
