just like cooking

People have said this in the past. Just after posting a simile about cooking and software development, it hit me hard how much more similar the two. More so then traditional "engineering" disciplines. You get taught how to read a recipe and implement. Then you learn that the recipe is at best a guide. Each new project your recipe gets shorter, but the implementation time gets longer. Day 1 - recipe is 5 pages long, has all the details, what tools you gonna use, methods described in detail. Day 365 - a few bullet points, the world "cloud" on it own line. 👍 your good to go and implement the companies new payroll system. But seriously. Cooking has many ways to do the same thing. Yes there are "traditional" methods. You want a roast turkey, it has to be X Y and Z. Then a vegan comes in and shows you can have the same flavour, taste and experience at 1/5th the cost, lower calories. Yeah, but SOAP will always be better then this JSON thing. Wheres the types!!

I've had a lot more experience of Day 1 recipes that were, in their entirety: We want a program that will do everything for us, and is completely intuitive, so that no-one will need any training. You've got three weeks.

does Uber do software dev?
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!
