Book Notes

# "Code Complete" Book Notes

## Chapter 2: Using Metaphors to Better Understand Software Development

### Key Points
Software development is more like architecture than writing:
- Requires careful planning and design
- Must consider structural stability
- Modification costs increase as the project progresses

### Personal Thoughts
In actual work, I have found:
1. Insufficient early design leads to later refactoring
2. Code quality affects maintenance costs
3. Team collaboration requires unified standards

### Action Plan
- [ ] Apply the design principles from the book in the next project
- [ ] Share the importance of architecture design with the team
