as crude as that will sound to many people still naturally feeling their strong shoulds and shouldn’ts.

In fact feature requirements are very important. It simply means that you don’t have to specify the behavior of the entire system in order to deliver value to the customer. Check out the Agile Manifesto. Three of the four values are “working software”, “customer collaboration” and “responding to…[Read more]

I will not lift a finger until I have a plan. As a result I am efficient getting tasks completed.

In contrast, as long as I have a general idea of what I need to do, I tend to just dive in on tasks…[Read more]

The man was a Muslim and wished to have his imam present in the execution chamber.

It can’t really be “proven” since we can’t see what is happening. However we can see the results of the effect and produce testable hypotheses that can then be experimentally confirmed or refuted.
