the most un-fun part of coding...

  • [アーティクル]

Ahhhhhhh, eyes going buggy...that's it...I'm taking a break.

I have come to realize that the most unentertaining part of coding for me is the writing of the spec.  The funny part however, is that because of a recent project I kinda got thrown into the middle of, I now realize just why it's so important to have a properly wrote spec.

I had sooooooo many questions that could have been easily answered had the spec been wrote better...and then the design of this whole class I was coding up.  Oofda is all I can say.  I'm not sure how that guy got his spec passed review, but like I said, on the brighter side it definatly showed me what not to do when writing a spec.  Hehehe.

So today I'm writing a spec for a different project...and as un-fun as it is I'm determined to take my time and make it as good of a spec as possible.  What I'm noticing about writing a spec however, is that everyone seems to have their own concept about what a spec should contain.  I've asked many people around work how it should be formatted and everyone pretty much has a different answer.  To me that says it really doesn't matter as long as the spec contains the information everyone is looking for.

Sadly I'm a creature of habit, and I like to have some kind of starting template whenever I'm authoring something...and there just isn't a spec template for our team.  :( 

Hmmmm, maybe I should make one...are there any good spec template examples out there someone could point me towards?

    They hold some classes on spec writing you should try and catch one if you can, even though it might not be in time for the completion of this project. Also there is spec info in the online internal web for training which I forget the name of. There are also various kinds of spec's so you might get a different answer about what a spec is depending on whom you speak with about it.

    Anyways, Hiya, hope things are going well for you.
