Looking for feedback to improve this thesis.
- Any project of a man-week scale typically has too little resources or too many constraints to allow working from scratch. Thus whatever flaws there exists in the execution, cannot be really be fixed by the remaining 33-20% resources of the project.
- This is because a 66-80% completion is needed to really get a scale of the remaining work to be done. That by then budgets would have been exceeded and there is too little in resources left. That a Minimum Viable Product will be good enough.
- Any novel, typically 2-3 man-months long (60-90 days), typically has 10-20 man-days of editing.
- It is easier to do “good enough” and learn from the mistakes, than to keep starting again from scratch.
- Taking too Long to process mistakes can be paralyzing (analsysis paralysis). While learning as we go puts food on the table.
- While core problems get more complicated over time its still easier to do incremental change than to start with no foundations and everything from scratch.
Which makes me believe: People who want to DESTROY everything to create a new beginning may lack the problem solving skills to MAKE a good beginning in the first place.
