Decision Making
-
with an established project, making choices is pretty straightforward- the technology scope is already tied down... but with new projects, it's quite different. i'm starting a new one- i mean, brand spanking new. fresh. not a single line of code. quite exciting, yet daunting 'cos there are just too many options available. from design to implementation and beyond, and many of the options all fit the bill quite nicely. so anyways... with the plethora of choices available, i been trying to figure out a process for coming up with some *final* decisions. and was wondering: would Google Fight[^] suffice as a neutral third-party vote in the case of a tie? :) ie. can you make that fly as a knowledgeable contribution to the decision making process? and on that, what other unorthodox approaches can you get away with? maybe we could see some decision patterns emerging, like ShortestStraw and ThrowDice... ? :-D that is, once you've exhausted all your logical thought patterns; had too long to think it over; plus you don't want to buy into your own hype; you really want the best there is [and realize that just about any choice would be as good as any other _for this project_]...

Might be useful, but I won't depend on it to make critical decisions for me. You might miss out on something cool that is pretty new and hence not much exists on google about it. For example, 4 years back if you were trying to decide on C# vs Java for your project using GoogleFight alone, am sure you would have gone the Java way, and missed out on C# :)

never mind 4 years ago, if u do a fight today [java vs c#] and java still kicks b* :D 74,500,000 for c# 331,000,000 for java [used manual google, since googlefight breaks on c# as a querystring] just maybe the c# community is missing out on java? :laugh:

Or maybe people who hit a problem when using Java have to keep posting questions multiple times on diverse websites and pray for an answer whilst people using C# just come straight to CodeProject...
