Hi, I know this is a bit off-topic and has no direct relation to perl BUT it does affect the working process of programming. Recently our boss introduced a working process which he called "Rapid Prototyping". From now on we should develop prototypes together with our customers to set up the "perfect" look and feel for the application. Then the next logical step would be to throw away the prototype and start all over from scratch, implementing the interface that turned out to be the best.
So I thought. The way we handle it is: Develop a "prototype" with the customer and USE this so called prototype for further delevopment!! In my opinion this introduced more flaws than it helps us build better code.
I would like to know your experiences with this programming model. How did it help you build your applications? What other models do you use?

I am looking forward to your opinion
