New Development Approach
Currently watching a TV programme about swarms. There was a fantastic part where wildebeest cross a river. Using a form of collective intelligence they all cross as the same place. However, they struggle to get up the side of the river bank. The force of more wildebeest arriving forces the ones in front to find a way up the side of the bank. The brute force and sheer number of the heard eventually find a way up the side.
This approach made me think that’s its not unlike some code development. Enough people trying enough different ideas until eventually success is found and the idea spread among the developers.
