Line 2: In software development, a '''Schlemiel the Painter'''['s]<!-- Spolsky uses it both with and without the possessive 's -->''' algorithm''' denotes any methodology that is inefficient because the programmer has overlooked some fundamental issues at the very [[High and low level\|lowest levels]] of [[software design]]. The term was coined by software engineer and essayist [[Joel Spolsky]]. The algorithm should not to be confused with the [[Painter'~~s_algorithm~~s algorithm]] of image compositing, as the two are completely unrelated. __TOC__
