@MethodR I was recently told a brain hack: If I declare: "I can do it in X (>1) cuts, and I'm sure that's the minimum" challenge myself by "But others can do it in Y (< X) ". This forces me to think outside of my mental comfort zone youtu.be/zBmy6c8lMHw Doesn't that apply here?

Oh that’s horrific 😂

“If we apply our creativity, we can release value-creating software after only a few percent of its eventual development cost. …The sooner we get feedback from real usage, the less time/money/opportunity we spend on behavior that doesn’t matter” @KentBeck tidyfirst.substack.com/p/constantines…

New “Faster” is at amzn.to/3HZwGDb now, but weirdly listed as “Hardcover $83.99 (2 New from $32.99).” Not sure what’s going on there, but the “correct” list price is $32.99.

There are a few PDFs of “Faster: How to Optimize a System” out there now. To those of you who have a copy, how’s the experience so far?

It’s ready. “Faster: How to Optimize a System,” by Cary Millsap with Jeff Holt. Available in PDF format today. method-r.com/2021/12/23/fas… Hardcover Jan 2022.
