alt Hacker NewsThe diligence to the absurd that you describe is really just a consequence of cutting corners at planning stages. Consider an organization that relies heavily on formal proofs and specifications to one that uses what fits on the 3 bullets allowed in a PowerPoint slide. The first might do less work over all because the second is cutting corners in planning.
Perhaps, though I find myself disagreeing as the planning stage where it itself told me about WarpX. It just then made stupid decisions when left to itself.
Can plan… just not well. Can code… just ok. Can do TDD… just most of the time.
Definitely none of these well enough to be a dark factory though.
