"You can fix it now on the drafting board with an eraser or you can
fix it later on the construction site with a sledge hammer" 
-  Frank Loyd Wright"

Using this quote is obviously a confused analogy given that the world
of physical construction and design have very little to do with the
world of digital constructions.

You don't need a sledgehammer, you don't need to destroy something
if you make a mistake in the digital world you can in fact change it
if you find out you made a mistake without having to rebuild the
entire building.

If your button sits the wrong place, big deal, move it somewhere
else.

And you can apply completely different development methodologies.

Continues integration just to name one way.

So if people walk around and think about their discipline in a Frank
Loyd Wright frame of reference then it's no wonder things go wrong
and end up with the conclusions they do. They are however based on
the wrong assumptions then.
