Posted by Hemos on from the talking-to-the-man dept.

Hobart writes "Berke Breathed, author of Bloom County has granted an interview to Tasha Robinson of the The Onion's AV Club. This is the second interview I've seen in six months (previous interview link) after the six years of silence since the end of Outland. He even calls for volunteers to help with his site! ;)"

    I just read on Slashdot that Linux game company Loki was dead. I'm sure going to miss them. Even if you didn't pirate their software, you probably enjoyed flaming them for not releasing the games as open source. Truly a linux success story.

    I remember well that fateful word, "creativity," uttered from an ex-developer. I have no problem with creativity if the person(s) implementing the software are skilled and experienced software engineers. The problem happens when you give software programmers carte blanche to be creative. Microsoft did that and they got Visual Basic.

    We are still, a year later, fixing bugs, finding lame bugs like so:

    error_result = NO_ERROR;
    foo = foo;
    error_result = 10;
    if foo != foo then
    something that needs to be done but never is
    end if;
    report_error (error_result);

    It really is hard to progress on other projects if every other week we have to drop everything and align his creativity with reality. So far we've been threatened with lawsuits and have lost sales because of this crap.

    I'm sorry, but there is merit in trying to plan software projects. Focus creativity during design and specification, not during implementation. All you get from being creative in the implementation phase is a boat-load of code where 25% of it is orphaned by design changes.
