Top-down design is far less enjoyable that bottoms up design. This is not a current status, yet.

@prk The space program was undertaken during a pretty fierce rivalry between the USA and USSR; that is fierce bordering-on-nuclear-apocalypse. Do you really think one side would shy away from sabotaging the other in a prestige project like that? · 2 years ago
@marginalia well, there were less software security issue at the time, and the AGC was air gapped... let's even say void gapped :D · 2 years ago
@prk I really think it depends on the domain. There are problems that respond much better to one of the two approaches. Although I do agree that upfront design has gotten a lot of undeserved shit by the agile gang. Upfront design has put men on the moon, agile has given us refrigerators that need to install security updates. · 2 years ago

I might sound like a dinosaur, but top-down is really useful for the main design part. Bottom-up is fine for tech/coding but unless you have at least a glimpse of the big picture, you're doomed to reboot the project from scratch for a v2. · 2 years ago
To me the "write the code that you want to write and build around that" approach is most enjoyable, though results can vary. · 2 years ago

True! I never understood the top-down thing. I firmly believe in bottom-up · 2 years ago
