Bjarne Stroustrup on Software engineering
← Back to Bjarne Stroustrup Profile
“Far too often, "software engineering" is neither engineering nor about software.”
“"Legacy code" is a term often used derogatorily to characterize code that is written in a language or style that (1) the speaker/writer consider outdated and/or (2) is competing with something sold/promoted by the speaker/writer. "Legacy code" often differs from its suggested alternative by actually working and scaling.”
