So, not development?

• erikpukinskis 10y ago
  I would say research-y development: building with the understanding that some percentage of the time you will be building only to learn. Also, there is a lot of research in design, and I do design and development interleaved. I could carve out slices of that work to call "pure development" or "pure research", but for me, design, engineering, and research are all part of one tightly coupled process. I call that process development for shorthand. Is there a better word?
