RIP Niklaus Wirth, whose “Program Development by Stepwise Refinement”* made a huge impression on me as a callow youth. It didn’t *work* as a methodology, mind you – as I discovered by trying it out on a largish project – but it prepared me for variations that did work. Explains why I remain a mockist** at heart even though the world has mostly moved on from mocks.
