Building & Understanding

May 5, 2026

I build and have built a lot of software but it’s only now occurred to me that I’ve been running on an assumption. My assumption, plainly, is that I need to understand before I can begin building. I think now there’s some wisdom in there but it’s not the entire reality of it.

More often than not I find myself re-reading my code and further understand what it is that I’ve actually built, finding new ways to use it or fix it. I can’t begin to build without understanding what I’m building and yet my understanding is incomplete unless I have built it. Fascinating.

I suppose I could safely say that stepping back and pondering about what I’ve actually built is a vital part of the software development cycle.

Thank you for reading so far. Once again, the contents of this website is fictional. Take care.
