Notes
"Would an engineer design a small, single lane bridge for a rural Northumberland village so that it could support the weight of a thousand double decker buses? No. So why do we, as software engineers try to do exactly this? That day will never come."

Alex Reid writes that there’s no shame in code that is simply “good enough”. This is a pragmatic perspective that is worth keeping around. Found via my equally pragmatic friend, Matt Allen. (via timriley)
