“Most programs are not write-once. They are reworked and rewritten again and again in their lived. Bugs must be debugged. Changing requirements and the need for increased functionality mean the program itself may be modified on an ongoing basis. During this process, human beings must be able to read and understand the original code. It is therefore more important by far for humans to be able to understand the program than it is for the computer.” NeedsWritingHumansMayMeanImportantAbleProcessHuman BeingsComputerProgramBasesOriginalsCodeAgain And AgainRequirementsBugsOngoingFunctionality Author:Yukihiro Matsumoto
