Damn flowcharts and damn the horse it rode into town on. >:( |
| jpanhalt:
I love flowcharts and used them actively during my working life and even now that I am retired. I don't always start with one. Someties, I just get the job done, then flowchart it to look for a better way. Now, organizational charts written by functionary managers are another story... |
| Peter Taylor:
Exactly. Define the logic first in a flowchart, and then implement that logic. This is why I hate them. Because I have realized that a good program starts with good logic, and now I spend most of my time defining logic. This is more productive, but less fun, than writing a program that just goes. It will inevitably come back to bite me on the arse, if I haven't got the logic right in the first place. :) |

Post-millenials call them 'journey charts' or 'customer journeys' or 'concept pathway journeys' or 'line flow journeys' or anything else that's an 'exciting journey.' The only difference between old and new school is processing is now done in a cloud graphic marked 'order and progression'; the difficult thinking being left to a third party management consultancy from low wage India/Brazil. Journeys have a shed load of emojis and pointing fingers. I could draw you one in a trendy metallic font, but my computer is not an M1 iMac. :( Me...? I'm so old school that I save my used envelopes, just in case I need to draw some freehand ideas connected by arrows. |
