Feedback Quote by Christopher Alexander
“I mean, making simulations of what you're going to build is tremendously useful if you can get feedback from them that will tell you where you've gone wrong and what you can do about it.”
About This Quote
Simulations are valuable because they provide feedback that reveals errors and suggests corrective actions before actual construction.
In simple terms: Simulations expose design flaws early.
Iterative testing prevents costly mistakes.
