Thanks. I know what bikeshedding is. I’m asking what cyandees specifically means. The normal definition of bikeshedding doesn’t seem to make any sense in his sentence. I’m assuming he’s using it to mean “cruft” or “low value features” but maybe there’s some meaning I’m missing.

Funny enough, I didn't know, but your comment made me look it up, then I tracked down a PDF of the book, read the relevant section, and wrote my reply. So, even if I didn't help you out, you helped me lol.

  It’s a good term. :) I originally heard it in the context of picking paint color for the bike shed, which is probably more on point for software engineers, most of whom would not be involved in any discussion around building a nuclear reactor.
