Why?

Willem186

I programme for a living. I use Xcode every day of my life and I love/hate it. It frustrates me that it is buggy, the code completion is slightly retarded, and the UI slows doen so much when you have a large app that it feels like rendering a CAD drawing. I have to ask this question though. Why is it so difficult to do the smallest of things, yet it's easier to do more complex stuff? It's sometimes easier to program an entire database backend then to just create a UIPopover that displays a calendar/anything. You have to hack the poo out of that class to make it work. Why is this? If anybody has had the same frustrations using objective C, l would love to hear about it. Also you will know you are not alone (X-Files music, you totally just hummed it) in case you didn't... doo dee dah dee dee doo... lol

Thought that was a MBA joke

when I heard that joke it was "how do you know if someone is the singer in a band?"

I've been thinking about this the whole day and I am confident the answer is 45

I reckon it's a case of the 80/20 principle at work again. It takes 20% of the effort to do 80% of the work and vice versa. I see it all over in every industry and aspect.

Shibbibilybob

Hahah I am more inclined to agree with the 90/90 principle.

The first 90% of the project takes 90% of the time and effort.
The final 10% of the project, takes another 90%. ?

Willem186

I really have to agree, seems that the last stretch takes forever ?

I am sure 80/20 are a type of guitar string
