Yeah this is the scariest point in all of my projects.
The true horror begins, when the customer calls for support, because some things are awkward, and you know instantly the cause, also that you will have to fix this now, 5 years later.
I love that realization when I throw some hacky shit together and it somehow works first try.
When I try to be organized and meticulous nothing works and I eventually give up.
That sounds like a great way to set yourself up for spectacular failures down the road
Theory is when you know everything but nothing works
I know it's "just a joke" but this makes no sense.
We know very exactly how the baby monster group in mathematics operates. It has no practical use as far as I'm aware (it doesn't work).
The difference between theory and praxis is that in theory, there is no difference, but in praxis, there is
This is a good one, although theory is a much better problem to have than practice
Yeah, but practice makes ~~perfig~~ perfect.
The difference between theory and practice is greater in practice than in theory.
