Worse Is Better (Richard P. Gabriel)


Big complex system scenario: The right thing needs designed. Then it needs implementation design. Then it needs implemented. It has nearly 100% functionality and takes a long time to implement. Very large and complex. Requires complex tools. The last 20% takes 80% of the effort. Only runs on the most sophisticated hardware.
