Programming Barriers

There are many barriers could happen in software development that degrade the performance of a programmer to do threr job.

• Hardware Barriers
  Fact of the hardware: Slow development machines, different platforms, CPU architecture, memory limits, etc


• Storage Barriers
  The distinct from the programmer to source code: Version control tool, shared folder, file lock


• API Barriers
  The imperfect of API of the runtime platform/library: HTML, missing feature, missing documentation, bad API, poor standard, bug in the implementation to workaround


• Policy Barriers
  Barriers created by real-world policy make you to code:  security, choice of third party tools, coding style, meaningless comment


• Information / Knowledge Barriers
  Must have domain knowledge / background information before who can code: Business rule, understanding of the objective, experience, design patterns,


• Data format Barriers
  Protocols, encoding, file format, charset, size and length limit


• Language Barriers
  Barriers in between programming languages: C#, JNI, wrapper, ANSI-SQL, PL/SQL, COBOL, jQuery, etc


• Reinvent wheel Barriers
  I cannot categorize it into others: Somehow you will find yourself reinvent a wheel because of many reasons.


• Emotion Barriers
  Emotion: e.g. I won't use C# because of Microsoft.
