Myths in Software Engineering

I used to believe that people write perfect code in one go, over the years I understood it’s iterative process.

Very thoughtful! While people might argue perfect code doesn’t exist, I appreciate you for realizing something close to a ‘perfect code’ and I get a sense that you at least strive to be there.

There are many people who don't realize what perfect code looks like and don't strive to reach that level.

Companies often recruit people like herd, make them write a piece of code which is no where near to what it takes to make perfect. People only produce output and earn hefty money.

Trust me, in my 18+ yoe, I have seen so called engineers writing code which even a 12 year kid can write, if given proper training. But when I call this out, people get offended. May better sense prevail.

PS: I have seen some very good engineers(including juniors) too from whom I have learned so many things. They are my real source of inspiration to make me strive for perfection.

Computer science and related fields have a subject called software engineering for this reason. To educate students that development is an iterative process. That actual code is but a small part of the development process.
