I think I'll open with a dubious metaphor I just came up with and a demand that the reader immediately and wholeheartedly accept that metaphor as literal truth. That's how you grab an audience!

The contrast here is great.<p>Finding the problem and creating a solution along with focusing on the process of creating that solution in order to reduce risk of building the wrong solution. Contrasted to building a solution along with a sane dev and production environment for that solution to fit in, to increase possible iteration velocity by reducing deployment inertia.

I think the OP is on a path that will eventually lead them to discover or re-invent Conway&#x27;s Law[0]<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Conway&#x27;s_law" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Conway&#x27;s_law</a>

Just wondering if I&#x27;m the only one, but I like my logs to be the narrative of what&#x27;s happening in the system.

Sorry I just don&#x27;t understand the article. Can anyone rephrase?

This is a good metanarrative for software authors. The more the product wants to be art, the more important this concept is. Humans are wired to spread stories so if a product doesn&#x27;t communicate plenty of good ones, then there you have the anwer to why marketing budget isn&#x27;t fixing the business.

Okay, I&#x27;ll take it at face value. Can you name a few competent programmers who are also competent book &#x2F; story writers ?
