brute force and ignorance
|
|
|
|
n. A popular design technique at many software houses brute force coding
|
|
unrelieved by any knowledge of how problems have been previously solved in
|
|
elegant ways. Dogmatic adherence to design methodologies tends to encourage
|
|
this sort of thing. Characteristic of early larval stage programming;
|
|
unfortunately, many never outgrow it. Often abbreviated BFI: Gak, they used
|
|
a bubble sort ! That's strictly from BFI. Compare bogosity. A very similar
|
|
usage is said to be mainstream in Great Britain.
