Caches to Caches: “being able to program can only ever be as important as recognizing when writing code to accomplish a task will be worthwhile.” The context of this quote is an article in which the author suggests there may be parts of how we teach programming that are not correct. We see a similar scenario in corporate IT that is often called build vs. buy. Can I buy a software package that provides the functionality I need, or should I build it myself? In my opinion, too many companies build no software, but change the basic functionality of what they bought to the extent the base product is nearly unrecognizable and practically unsupportable. It’s a process designed to create technical debt.
