clarify "simple vs easy" #7

Closed rkdarst closed 5 years ago

rkdarst commented 5 years ago

In the "simple vs easy" graph, I think "simple" and "easy" can be clarified. maybe "quick and dirty" and "using proper tools" or something? I instinctively knew what this was supposed to say, but still had to think of what the words meant (in part because I was tired)

rkdarst commented 5 years ago

To add to this, label the regions. E.g.

set up git (left side of simple) --> automated testing, fast development (right of simple)
no git (left of easy) --> impossible to debug (right side of easy)

I can add to that, that the graph is a bit confusing and can use some rework.

I plan to rework that. All suggestions welcome. In particular what the confusing part is but I guess the point is that the graph is not self-explaining enough.

Mainly: "simple" and "easy" both sound like good things. It's not clear that "easy" means "quick hacks" or "simple" means "take the time to implement it properly".
