Re: [Algorithms] Complexity of new hardware

[Andrew V. <and...@ni...>]

Of course there are, and all those other axes are definitely important.
But again, IME, if you lack design then they pale into insignificance for
all but the simplest task.

I'm not saying it's impossible to produce medium-to-large systems with a bad
design, just that they generally take longer to finish and are harder to
adapt when requirements change.

Cheers,
Andrew.
