rademakerUnpopular opinion of the day - sometimes it makes sense to do a re-write 😬😬🫥😎
Matt Massicotte@rademaker I share this opinion!
@mattiem I’m glad it’s not just me
Georg TuparevI have the rule of three:
1. First draft helps you understand the problem (and you do rm *)
2. Second draft makes it work
3. Third re-write - make it beautiful
@tuparev I love this. But what often happens is 1 turns into 2 without rm * and 3 is never achieved 😢
You pay interests in the future.
1. In the case I am working for a client, I am trying to explain, that the final bill will be 200-300% higher. Sometimes this is OK (time to market). Often they agree with me. Sometimes they walk away.
2. When working for our own company the “rm *” phase is strictly required.
@tuparev my original post was basically me subtweeting real life at my current employer (a fintech startup)
