It seems like edit distance is an equivalent way to think of this. Your company is brittle if it is one edit/mutation away from failure.

- lgas 9y agoThat's an interesting analogy but the big difference is that with traditional edit distance every edit is exactly the same -- one character changed to another character. In the business case there's no equivalent "unit" size for changes.
- joshmarlow 9y agoVery true. Edit distance is well formalized, wheres defining a mutation on a business operation is not (though it would be super interesting to think about). So yeah, totally a fuzzy analogy.
