Strict TypeScript and Flow types for style based on MDN data

Fewer than I'd expected :(

A different take to the 2016 version.

During test-driven development we write tests to verify that features conform to desired business outcomes; with fitness function-driven development we can also write tests that measure a system’s alignment to architectural goals.

That early work on Adaptive Design has already done the hard digging of finding reference points and developing frameworks to guide product design for adaptation - it’s the anti Apple, the anti Amazon, the anti DRM. I’d love to for designers to share their ideas for future adaptable iPhones and adaptable apps, expand the discourse, and pushing back on the status quo. Adaptive Design is a movement worth reviving in 2020.

Consistency alone can produce consistently poor outcomes without flexibility. If the system is too strict, teams are constrained and the results are rigid and dull.

One of the key elements of Google's software engineering culture is the use of defining software designs through design docs. These are relatively informal documents that the primary author or authors of a software system or application create before they embark on the coding project. The design doc documents the high level implementation strategy and key design decisions with emphasis on the trade-offs that were considered during those decisions.

Somehow I missed this first time around.

An attempt at modifying the original "skateboard to car" agile analogy to not require additional context.

Back in the 1920s, Lippmann might have agreed with much of this. He saw objectivity not as a magical state of mind or a view from nowhere, but as a practical process. Journalism should aim for “a common intellectual method and a common area of valid fact”, he wrote. That does not mean using euphemisms in place of plain language, or parroting both sides of an argument without testing them. Indeed, when journalism has erred in recent years, it has often done so by misinterpreting objectivity, rather than upholding it. The most persuasive calls for moral clarity today articulate something close to Lippmann’s original conception of objectivity.
