To me, software development is a continuous search for answers…

• What is the problem?
• Is that really the problem?
• What is the preferred solution?
• How should it work?
• How must it work?
• How do we make that happen?
• How should we break down the tasks?
• How long will it take?
• What will it cost?
• Is it worth it?
• Is there a plan B?

When you finally get down to the core programming task, again it boils down to asking the same question over and over:

What if … ?

There are no stupid questions.
