Dumb question: isn’t it possible that devs also end up messing stuff & causing more inconsistencies tho?

I’m specifically referring to Houdini stuff in this case. One dev may do same stuff different way(s)?

: happy to discuss at length. Basic insight is that we get X features per year. That's fixed. /cc

: so question becomes, if we only get X per year, how should we "spend" them? What's most effective? /cc

Replying to @slightlylate
: my thesis is that we should spend those features in ways that give us confidence later. /cc

: see also: Gears/AppCache: we learned those high-level features badly designed at multi-year delay.

: so if we make mistakes in ways that take years to find out, we should hedge against that strongly. /cc

Replying to @slightlylate
: how? By delivering low-level features first and *then* learning from ecosystem to add high-level /cc
