The playbook works and the more boring the better. If you are doing something on the edges of computing or industry than hooray - you are off the beaten path and it's your time to shine! You can be the one writing the playbook in a retrospective, but please don't try to make a boring application in a boring industry exciting by being unorthodox. I don't want to be excited and interested in how you solved a basic CRUD implementation - I want to intuitively know what it's doing before I even git clone your repository.
- lanstin 3y agoI do think that as more things become programmable and hence part of software, the odds that a given project is novel increases. If you maximize the Lisp/hacker/Dry approach, any new code should be novel; if something is just a repeat, you should make an abstraction to make it the same; instead of hand made websites just configure your Wordpress or Django or whatever.
