Just came across an artical about Behavior Driven Development, which reminds me of Test Driven Development, Extreme Programming, Agile, Scrum. Just name a few. I'm wondering where these fancy terminologies came from. Regardless, software is still not short of bugs.

The next big thing is Emergent Design. This is the fancy new name for what we used to call "making this shit up as we go along".

I thought that was the real "Extreme Programming" :confused: That, or some dev guy doing a HALO jump, laptop in hand, fixing a priority code 1 bug :laugh: In COBOL.... With only documentation available in the form of TY Cobol in 21 days.... :laugh:

Ah, that one. Doesn't have the same effect here, fortunately.

Interesting article. I do find this a bit weird though: "This software transformation, whatever it is, is coming. It must come; because we simply cannot keep piling complexity upon complexity. " Why *must* it come? Maybe given the fact that software is just a bunch of sequential instructions, it *can't* come. Maybe the very nature of the computing hardware (i.e. a bunch of very tiny switches, all in a predefined physical layout with no way of changing themselves) prevents any other way of doing this.

I haven't read that bit yet; it looks too much like philosophy and I'm way too sober for that tonight. :rose:

A bit of a roller coaster still. I just managed to miss the first round of layoffs at my current company. I don't think I can handle a fourth layoff in four years! At least my therapist is making a living off of me. :-D

The trouble is newbie devs think that patterns, or scrum, or something else is a magic bullet. Those methodoligies help, but nothing makes you a better programmer overnight, and all software has bugs at some point in the SDLC, no matter how good your testing and how good the end result.

This may sound ok to the development community, but not acceptable to end users. You can eliminate buggs if you understand the system well, know how to test it, and actually test it throughly. IMO, not being properly tested is a major reason for buggy software.

You forgot the major reason for not testing "properly"... no time! I mean seriously the understanding of a system depends on so many factors that its impossible to figure out whether its understood or not. IMO the reason for too many bugs is the count of young developers and the bug count at this rate is awesome and it should stay like this! We always have to consider that all of us were noobs once(I'm still, kinda) and that there will always be "new Guys" in almost every development project in this world :D and that is perfectly fine :D
