[quote author="Jelmer" date="1249947622"]I think this topic starter's problem became pretty clear:
Quote:i know documentation is important but iv found in my personal experience time and money are much more important. when i have a client breathing down my neck, im not going to read hours of manuals, i just hit the ground coding.
All I can tell you is that time, money and knowing what you're doing are very connected. When you "just hit the ground coding" you'll make huge mistakes because you don't actually fully understand what you're doing. And not knowing what you're doing leads to:
- Unsafe code
- Instable code
- Non-extendable code
- Unoptimized, inefficient, or to put it bluntly and wrap it up: bad code
Which in turn leads to:
- Unsatisfied customers
- No money
- A lot of time for fixing your mistakes
I wish you all the best, but I would warn anyone against buying anyone's services who works like that. Counting years of experience only has use when you actually understood what you experienced.[/quote]
Great post!
You put your finger right on it!
I actually learned something by reading this thread:
There is a "ignore" button and I will use it when encountering people like the dude who wrote "time and money"... I will start ignoring everyone writing dumb posts.
