7 Reasons for Code Bloat
June 7th, 2007 | Published in Blog, Web Design
At a Webstandards Group meetup in London Chris Heilmann gave a rather funny and informative presentation on code bloat. You can check out the slides from his presentation as HTML, PDF, or a Podcast at http://www.wait-till-i.com/index.php?p=441. Here is a quick run down of his seven reasons.
- Wrong perception of time needed to accustom ourselves to a project
- Maintenance without using the right tools
- Bad or non-existent documentation
- People do not read or look before they start
- Lack of awareness
- Failure to specialize
- Lack of a front-end build process
