<p>I was recently writing code for a project and found myself making assumptions about what I was writing.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I was creating my own requirements.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Something no-one asked for.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I was assuming a value was always going to be a certain number of digits long.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I was writing code that verified this was true or throw an Exception.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Until I found out that that one of the values wasn't the same length as the others.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This could be an error in the data or it could correct.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>No-one told me the lengths were always going to be the same.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So why was I checking it?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Why was I adding bugs to the code?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I've reverted the code that checks the length of the value and gone to find clarification.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If it's an issue, it'll be fixed in the source data.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the lengths should all be the same, I'll potentially re-add the check.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Until I'm sure, I'll only write what's needed to deliver the feature and stop adding my own requirements and assumptions.</p>
