- --------------------------------------------------------
- Personally, I believe that DESIGN always happens.
-
- Sometimes it is "Methodically" done at the beginning, sometimes it is done
- incrementally as each line of code is being entered at the keyboard.
-
- Its like building a house, some people hire an architect to DESIGN it, some
- people hire their brother-in-law to "just build it".
-
- I know which house I would prefer, and where I would prefer to invest my
- mortage. Other people have other opinions.
