No. The timespan of the whole of Humanity will be just a mere blip in the billions of years the universe will exist. The universe is unimaginably big. The spotlight effect is strong here.

It sells newspapers unfortunately. For the longest time newspapers (and by extension much of the general public) equat archaeology with treasure hunting. I don't know the circumstances of this dig, but it may have been a rescue dig ahe

That link references the newspaper article but there was no mention of any law in it. Will take your word for it, thanks.

Wardley Mapping is a framework for better understanding Build v Buy (v Rent) at a more strategic level. tldr - it's much more nuanced than 'if you depend on it own it'

Nothing's been official published though, so this is largely a kite-flying exercise. You don't need a pop-up to use cookies on your site. You (quite rightly) need to get consent in some form if you're to track my (or your) be

Agreed. I've read about half the books on this list and wouldn't consider them difficult. But I've got some new books to buy now, which is always a good thing. If you like Ubik, Martian Time Slip might also pass as difficult.

And this is absolutely fine, because the problem with waterfall wasn't the detailed spec, it was a) the mulyi-year lead time from starting the spec to getting a finished product b) no (cheap) way to iterate or deliver outside the spec
