That guy
doesn't seem to grasp that many real world problems have
solutions that "evolve". A lot of the time, a programmer isn't
*completely* sure exactly how the program logic will work until it's
well on its way to being written, no? I mean, I'll have a general
idea on how everything will fit together, but I'll get the details
done as I come across them.
More like when managent decides they need a new feature but only when
the customer
pays for it and then it is needed *yesterday*.
Indeed. Coping with that particular eventuality with one of these giant
state tables must be a nightmare.
