Source : The Pragmatic Programmer
Conventional wisdom says that once a project is in the coding phase,
the work is mostly mechanical, transcribing the design into executable
statements. We think that this attitude is the single biggest reason that
many programs are ugly, inefficient, poorly structured, unmaintainable,
and just plain wrong.
Coding is not mechanical. If it were, all the CASE tools that people
pinned their hopes on in the early 1 980s would have replaced programmers long ago.
There are decisions to be made every minute—decisions
that require careful thought and judgment if the resulting program is
to enjoy a long, accurate, and productive life.
