[VicPiMakers Projects] Challenge 2

Hi Michelle,

I think you are using the wrong metaphore for coding. I would suggest
something more like the railroad system.

   1. Analyze the market for rail road service (will it be profitable, how
   much will it cost to build, etc)
   2. Plan where you want the rail cars to go
      1. Include rail stations (functions), switches (if statements),
      arrivals/departures (scheduling)
   3. Lay track (do the actual coding)
   4. Test the track with loads to ensure trestles don't fail (test your
   coding, ensure there aren't serious bugs)
   5. Maintain the entire system of tracks, stations, etc (keep your code
   upto date as libraries change)
   6. Add new track to new destinations as demand dictates (add features to
   your program)

Coding is more of a STEM (Science Techolgy Engineering Math) activity, than
Liberal Arts. Don't get me wrong there is plenty of room for Liberal Arts
skills in Software Development, such as writing really good documentation.
But coding is more like railroads than actors on a stage.
