I don’t know specifically of Mr. Jeffries ideology but his parable hit home for me. My work often runs projects or chooses software in a similar manner to how Baseball was modified. It ends up poorly because there’s a common thread of ignoring the warnings and best practices of the authors of the products or software. As an example, we moved our apps to the 12 Factor Manifesto style but not really. It was decided that some requirements were silly and new incompatible requirements were added. Now our apps won’t run in a 12 Factor environment and 12 Factor apps won’t run in our own environment. I just spent about a week getting an open source 12 Factor app running in our environment because of those changes. I don’t believe our changes added any material benefits to the business or how we work, let alone offer an improvement over 12 Factors. The way we got there wasn’t far off from the story. Lots of criticism about how things were inefficient or won’t scale despite plenty of evidence to the contrary.
