[IxDA Discuss] Alan Cooper on Software Design: Code=Design?

[Parth Upadhye]

I found this article an excellent read - almost like a loose
manifesto. I have not read his books but this article has some great
gems. 

>> Software is the only medium where the construction materials are
entirely the same as the design materials: source code. 
For some, as David put it, it is Photoshop or Illustrator, for others
it can be Visio, and even others code

>> Yes, software can be a cheap, disposable, high bandwidth,
easy-to-iterate medium. Advocates of Agile methods would have you
believe that all software is so. If only it were true. 
The arguments so clearly state some discomfort I feel while trying to
apply Agile practices into small/medium applications.
