This list feels to me like a tactical laundry list of how they want to achieve some goals at this company through technical practices. Which will and should change as technology changes.
But the “what” and the “why” seem to be mostly implied. There are mentions of quality and security, but it is really unclear. I don’t know what this company is trying to actually achieve. As an aside, lists like this are intriguing to me because they seem to value uptime over capability. I get the impression they would be perfectly happy shipping nothing for long periods.
- scrubs 3y agoTotally agree. Moreover, some of the things I look for are completely missing, and those are strategic. So tactical laundry list is a good synopsis.
- _a_a_a_ 3y agoPlease do expand a little on those strategic things of interest to you.

I wouldn't say _happy_, but we were certainly _willing_ to do this for long periods of time to get the right foundation built (for reference, we built for 5 years before launching). This is made explicit in the opening: > As a result of following the framework, product development may sometimes come to a screeching halt. The work itself may be tedious and frustrating. Progress may take many multiples of the time it would take using other methods. > [...] > That's the difference between principles and preferences: principles are what you do regardless of the cost – everything else is just a preference. As for this item: > But the “what” and the “why” seem to be mostly implied.
