Execution destroys Design

There is this conferenceWaterfall 2006 happening on how Waterfall models is coming back. I believe it is a spoof - more like Fools Day celebration, since the date is 1st April.

Anyway, one of the presentations by Robert C Martin talks about - how designs are ruined by execution. I really liked this part

Implementation is harmful to designs! Implementation ruins the elegance, beauty, and symmetry of designs. The problem is execution; and so it is execution that must be eliminated. As a community of designers we need to insist that our designs remain unexecutable!

All we are saying, is give design a chance. The code lies and designs die. The only good design is an unexecutable design. Stop all code. Pay for design, not for code! Code is not the answer!
