@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.

@TodePond My hope/dream is that in the FoC/Merveilles/TodePond/Ink&Switch/Handmade/Mastodon nexus there is the beginnings of a scene akin to the one around Gertrude Stein's Salon in pre-war Paris: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude

A scene will have inevitable disagreements. But hopefully this ferment is leading somewhere with answers.
