A high-velocity style of software development


Some ideas from my personal style of software development based on exploration, regular code changes and keyboard speed

Yet another crowd of souls staring into the abyss of endless meetings, discussing, analyzing, voting, brainstorming, envisioning, sprinting, reviewing, refining, making so much noise, applying so many tools, writing so many cursed documents in so many different, incompatible formats and inventing so many non-formal languages and methodologies all the time. Iterating through solutions, even if bad ones, uncovers so many corner cases, reveals so much about the project, busts so many myths, rewrites the requirements so often and thoroughly, keeps the feedback-loop so tight that it's cheaper in the long run than being afraid to constantly engage in computer-speak and face reality. I split this extra space in two or three and add a shell session where I switch to occasionally and run commands, like installing new libraries or execute the project via hot-reloading and see it's output always on screen.
