Spot on. This has been sort of an obsession of mine lately using the game of hangman and decision theory to "prove" why this works and how it applies to software development.
There are so many dogmas out there (Fail fast, MVP, Agile, Lean, etc) which all boil down to the same thing: Maximizing information gain and minimizing the cost of failure.
I'm planning on a blog post/email course/talk/something in the next few weeks but it's not quite ready yet.

Oh come on, you can't tease us like that! You have a duty to satisfy our curiosity now. :) How can hangman with decision theory apply to software development?
- chrisconley 13y agoWell, I've started on a landing page for an email course. It's pretty rough around the edges, but I suppose I could take this opportunity to solicit feedback. ;) I would also be thrilled to get my first signup. :) http://chrisconley.io/delivered/ http://chrisconley.io/delivered/
