@iStarr @nicolefv Based on that. wouldn't it be more like "Continuous Accelerator in Chief" ? Then again, we just haf StarWars day, and I've heard some like to use StarWars-based titles (at least according to Wookiepedia)!

@tottinge Part of 'master & minions' was also about optimizing 'utilization' of specialized "resources" to capture static system 'knowledge' in one form(at) & handoff to next-in-line to 'translate' to another format (adding SOME more detail, but LOTS more redundancy) -- soo wasteful!

@tottinge Too many folks then thought programming ("coding") was merely translating someone else's design into source-code (rather than a design activity). 🥴

@tottinge I recall Martin Fowler speaking in XP's early days, responding to Qs about Pairing as inefficient (2 people doing the work of 1)! He said "Programming is not a typing activity! It is a *thinking* activity -- and a *creative* one at that (unlike typing copy)!"

@davefarley77 Defining "steps to deliver a solution" is process (design), it is not solution requirements, nor solution design. Best not to equate nor conflate ANY of those three things (solution reqts != solution design != process for reqts/design/delivery)

@fullstackjo You mean "Continuous Vociferation"? (or just downright "caterwauling"?)

@scottwambler @Disc_Agile Yes! And also it should be: living, literate (w/locality of reference), and as close to executable as possible (while still being readable)!

@markburgess_osl Great stuff! Have yoy strong them altogether into a single article? (You should) In HW & System CM, stds prominently mention "form, fit & function" -- what do you think 'form" & 'fit' are for Sw/digital? (Interface? intregation?)

@tottinge @tom_a_r_johnson @quii I dont see "real change" vs "bookkeeping" change when I see merge-commits! What I see is very simple (and meaningful): change, change, merge, merge, merge, change, merge, change, change, merge. [Which is the point, since theyre separate events from different operations!]
