People often write code to prototype, ideate, and discover. To do this, they work opportunistically, emphasizing speed and ease of development over code robustness and maintainability. How do opportunistic programmers make these trade?offs, and how does the structure of their work compare to more formal software engineering practices? Opportunistic programmers build software using highlevel tools, and often add new functionality via copyandpaste from the Web. They iterate very rapidly, consider code impermanent, and find debugging particularly challenging.
