maybe.. but whats the point? when u are going to improve a structure you will have to redo everything refactoring is for losers.

Better start with a good layout so you don't need to improve anything in long run.

think big.

? photoshop = big.. = 1500$ ++

small product = mp3 to wave converter (dll/static libaray) = 30/45$ 30 day use.. keygen/cracked.. no one pays..

same goes for photoshop but they send out notices to illegal users to peoples HOME mail's and you might go to jail/fined (happened to me I got warned =P they contacted my ISP and sent me home letter).

Now is it better to sell good products or cheap ones?

up to you really

I would always code big.. maybe interfaces for me

well, not really,

its like cars.. some are good and expensive and some are not.

and expensive products are for huge companys not for personal use…

UML is a high level abstraction. If it isn't a higher level abstraction you may as well say you are writing code. In actual fact tools like Delphi were very much visual. Point is that you will often find that lower level implementation details allow you to discover better higher level abstractions. UML is primarily for communication of architectural structures, not for low level implementation detail.

Perhaps, but the pertinent question is: would using a waterfall methodology have helped? And that's not an easy question to answer – you have to know the intimate details of the project, including why it failed, etc.

The point is: requeriments changes will happen over and over.

Only XP works with changes in mind, when running a project.
