I hate the term "sprint". The word gives an impression of desperation and short term thinking. You don't sprint when you're running a marathon; it's not sustainable. It's a superficial complaint, but names do matter.
- matwood 8y agoLet's rename it to 'checkpoint' then. Even in a marathon a runner is checking their time to where they are every X miles. The runner then adjusts their pace if they have a goal time. In software a checkpoint should result in the same behavior.
