No more Hardcoding

Software Programmers may tell you that Hardcoding is not a biggest sin but they

will also tell you otherwise when you tell them to upgrade the software or

application.

One of the main reasons for the programmers’ to hard code is to implement the

feature which is not available in the 3rd party module/extensions. More often

than not, 3rd party modules/extensions will not cover all the scenarios or cases

and so to cover the special case, programmers hard code.

Programmers hard code to save a lot of time, and in the short run, they may be

right. The problem in this is that there are hidden costs to hardcoding that can

cost a lot of time & effort.

Reasons to avoid hard coding

1. Upgrades

Hard coding in the Core code base of CMS & e-commerce platforms like, Drupal

Joomla or Magneto will let you to make use of the 1-click upgrade option and in

some cases, the time and effort required to upgrade to the latest stable version

will be equal to that of new project.

2. Reusability

Hard coding will make it difficult to reuse the set of code in another application.
