summary

Argues that software as a knowledge medium is the real product, not feature lists, and reframes QA and development to ask have we reached the most faithful reproduction of knowledge?. Gives concrete practices: dogfooding, personas, putting procedures into scripts and build systems, and capturing docs with Fitness and Doxygen. Shows that team-built tools that scratch a personal itch outperform generic features and that “green” status can hide lack of learning, so plan for planned failures and rewrites rather than rigid estimates.
