The Change-Harvester's Value | #36

The change-harvester's take on "value" is quite different from the software trade's "standard" view. To get at that difference will take us a little time. Three differences stand out for me just now, and they have to do with 1) definition, 2) distribution schedule, and 3) temporal stability. I want to take a look at these in a particular context: "the long story". (Aside: I'm mildly sick today, so it's gonna spill out a little more slowly. It's dumb to work when you're sick, but you don't understand: I want to go out for dinner & drinks this evening, so I need to override the "too sick to go to school, too sick to play" tape in my head.) I'll characterize this long story as a chunk of work that is six weeks long. I actually think a long story is any story the team can't deliver in "a good day and a half", but I'm not looking to debate that for now, so I'm picking six weeks. Episode 36 is live!
