I don't think it should take "years" to develop a card sorting mechanism.
Android devs do you agree?
( This is picked up from the release notes of Trello. )

I guess it depends on the culture of development... At my job it takes 6 months of meetings, justifications, level of effort documents, business requirement documents, testing documents all signed off on by 8 different people to change one line of code to write a file to a different folder lol

@Ace71425 Thank you for saying this but I had no clue such things exist. Like they say too many cooks spoil the broth?
Maybe this applies to some. Or am I wrong?

if(card[0].position == deck.positions[0] &&
card[1].position == deck.positions[1] &&
card[2].position == deck.positions[2] &&
...
...
Maybe you need 2/3 years to write all the permutations...

@localghost wouldn't something like
if(for i in range(0,n)
card[i]. position == deck[i]. position)
Be possible?

Please excuse my fucked up syntax...

@silverstar no, they took several years so i though they wrote this by hand, line by line

@localghost Ah now I get it.
