Adherence vs Ad Hoc Development

Developers should prioritize adherence when working in regulated industries (e meets developers might use ad hoc development in emergency situations, such as fixing critical bugs under tight deadlines, prototyping ideas rapidly, or handling one-off tasks that don't justify a full development cycle. Here's our take.

Adherence

Nice Pick

Pros

• g
• Related to: code-review, agile-methodology

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Ad Hoc Development

Developers might use ad hoc development in emergency situations, such as fixing critical bugs under tight deadlines, prototyping ideas rapidly, or handling one-off tasks that don't justify a full development cycle

Pros

• It's useful for quick problem-solving in environments like startups, hackathons, or when dealing with legacy systems where formal processes are impractical
• Related to: rapid-prototyping, debugging

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Adherence if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Ad Hoc Development if: You prioritize it's useful for quick problem-solving in environments like startups, hackathons, or when dealing with legacy systems where formal processes are impractical over what Adherence offers.

The Bottom Line

Adherence wins

Developers should prioritize adherence when working in regulated industries (e
