Before studying Computer&Informatic Engineering (that's the best I can
transalate my carrer name), I studyied *5* years of Architecture, and I
*do* know how important analisys and planification is. Before I write a
single line of code I have a master plan (a blueprint)... a conceptual
organization rendered on paper, brought from the untangible world of ideas
to a physical medium. Perhaps some genius programmer espontaneously don't
need any methology... but the rest of us do. Declaring before using oblies
you to think twice before coding. There might be exceptions where this
aproach can lead to some "confusion", but the world is built of rules not
exception.
