Oh absolutely! If programming is like architecture, you aren’t always building the first suspension bridge to connect South Africa to Antarctica, most of the time you’re designing a collection of single family dwellings for a tract builder.

I was just riffing off the observation that software development is a behavioural science, not a formal or empirical science. I hoped that this example, while clearly ridiculous (which client uses terms like “super-linear” but simultaneously demands that the unknowable be known by Friday?) would provide a chuckle while making the same point.

Love the description of your approach. Speaking of sweet music, rock on!
