Pirates, Treasure Chests and Architectural Mapping(www.dotnetblocks.com)

submitted by DotNetBlocks(393) 9 months, 8 days ago

Pirates are known for drawing treasure maps to their most prized possession. These documents detail the decisions pirates made in order to hide and find their chests of gold. The map allows them to trace the steps they took originally to hide their treasure so that they may return. As software engineers, programmers, and architects we need to treat software implementations much like our treasure chest. Pirates are notorious for documenting where they hide their treasure. Shouldn’t we as creators of software do the same? By documenting our design decisions and rationale behind them will help others be able to understand and maintain implemented systems.
