@TodePond So I think we're entirely (?) in agreement on what we value in principle, and we're trying out different trade-offs along a shared spectrum.
Certainly this periodic concern of mine about testing is nudging me closer to your current location on the spectrum, with less custom code.
@TodePond Oh I see a disagreement. I've been gravitating towards durable software as a value, which is perhaps anti-tadi.
Depends on what "die" means to you here. I imagine "the Way" as emitting a trail of programs. Each program might be on a trajectory of ossification but still be usable long after it freezes.
