degree of iteration in software development is inevitable. As soon as one accepts that logic, one must then also accept that software development will be subject to friction (i.e. unexpected inefficiencies). When I plan the future for a piece of software, I expect to encounter ongoing friction, and I try to allow for that. I remain astonished at how many organisations assume that a master plan for their software can be rigidly followed.
Pros
- The query speeds improve as, instead of instructing Elasticsearch to Get all the data matching... , you say Go there and get all the data matching... ( Fig 6 ). If you are querying data with multiple unique routing keys, this guarantees better or equivalent query performance as that of the default routing strategy (reducing the scatter and

The beauty of finished software
In a world where constant change is the norm, finished software —a software you can use forever with no unneeded change —provides a breath of fresh air. It’s a reminder that reliability, consistency, and user satisfaction can coexist in the realm of software development.
