The source of many design and programming problems: unchecked assumptions

  • Article

In a recent project, we faced a problem with our system.

We just found and resolved the problem.

Details aside, there is a root cause of the problem: unchecked assumptions.

Save you time and effort and ask yourself often "Which are my assumptions so far?"

And then check them early.

    Only one problem with that: it's assumptions all the way down! :)

    Right!
    Some are checked, and other are unchecked.
    I know, it is not just that simple but it is useful to keep in mind the idea.
