Good article, Steve. I believe that you've hit the nail on the head. So many managers think that Hours worked = Hours wisely spent = Good lines of code and it's just not true. I've seen a lot of shops where about half of the work is spent on reworking crap code that was pushed to production to meet a schedule. More experienced managers would have seen the falicy in all of that.[font="Verdana"]Jeff, do u been referring to the code written by the Experienced guys? or by the young energetic ones? I am unable to relate your comments with the title of this post..! please 🙂
Thank you![/font]
My point is that a lot of what people call "software engineering" is actually dead because so many managers are more interested in hitting a schedule instead of hitting a product. They don't spend the time on "engineering". Instead, they spend it on expensive rework.
