Quotes by Rob Moffat  (?)

“Sometimes, the path across the Risk Landscape will take you to dead ends, and the only benefit to be gained is experience. No one deliberately chooses a dead end - often you can take an action that doesn’t pay off, but frequently the dead end appears from nowhere: it’s a Hidden Risk. The source of a lot of this hidden risk is the complexity of the risk landscape.”
Rob Moffat, Risk-First Software Development: The Menagerie

“it should be clear that it’s going to be both quite hard to read and write: the protocol of code is actually designed for the purpose of machines communicating, not primarily for people to understand.”
Rob Moffat, Risk-First Software Development: The Menagerie

“If we want to move fast we need simple codebases.”
