Programmers who want to change how we code before catastrophe strikes
"For Lamport, a major reason today’s software is so full of bugs is that programmers jump straight into writing code. “Architects draw detailed plans before a brick is laid or a nail is hammered,” he wrote in an article. “But few programmers write even a rough sketch of what their programs will do before they start coding.”<p>I almost always dive in, but I almost always write my code twice. Essentially the first round is my rough sketch, the second is written when I fully understand the problem, which for me only occurs once I've tried to code it.
