I think your examples agree with my point: You found minimal-time solutions that haven't caused continuous suffering afterwards, and can be easily removed when the root cause is fixed. That's a good result.

I'm still trying to challenge your assumptions. Why does a different solution necessarily require expanding the scope of work? Like you said, that's where experience helps to have those skills in your toolbox. Doing things better

Try nomograms instead - you can print them on paper, and they have one for just about everything. https://youtube.com/channel/UCOLYtsL4ge6QfaAvBDeG1IA

Maybe pdf numbers are sightly annoying in the modern age of writing.

My whole point is that you don't, because there aren't always just two options. That's the false dilemma logical fallacy. I'm saying you can fix problems without dropping everything and redoing work. You're allowed

The choice between refactoring and money-generating work is a false dilemma. There are other options, and the developer doesn't have to make that decision or carry out the work all on their own.

As the article below explains, it's a combination of structured qualitative analysis and a review process. That process builds on top of all the other application-specific or discipline-specific processes, like a hierarchy. The higher

Does the company have any in-house guidance on the application domain? Or is it all external feedback so far?

The business opportunity is in software that's inseparable from the hardware. Academics won't work on that because they don't do product development.

Of course there are contradictions. I'm talking about journalistic style in magazines. You're talking about something else.

I'm running out of ways to explain myself, so I'll just reword and summarize this thread from my perspective: OC: Is it broken? Me: No, they make generous interpretations to claim that it's broken. You: With a generous interp

Ok, so you're confirming that you're doing exactly what I said popular science articles often do.

I'm trying to explain how articles often conflate "intuition" with "breaking physics", and you're making your argument by conflating them. We're having different conversations.

Why would you use a classical model to describe a quantum system? That's the kind of wordplay that those articles do, and almost identical to my example about materials. It's entertaining, but meaningless.

Nothing breaks the laws of thermodynamics, ever. I assume you're referring to how some popular science articles report things. That's just wordplay. Nothing is being bent, broken, or bypassed. Usually it just means they did someth

The strengths of Matlab is that it's a domain-specific glue language with a domain-specific interactive environment. It's great if the benefits to you are worth the specificity and investment. Otherwise, something like Python migh
