Axes of Quality 7 years ago

Yep, fair, "axes" / "dimensions" was overstating - they're not all actually all orthogonal (all models are wrong, some useful, etc.). Mature engineering discussions have plenty of examples of those tensions, e.g. is it more important for this system to be available or consistent?

Yeah, I hear you. There's definitely room for improvement here. I'm not sure what you mean by not greppable - the file is listed, as is the name of the particular koan. If there's a way to get line numbers displayed here that would be great.

I agree it does make it easier to solve when you can see what you're trying to evaluate to. It was actually a conscious decision to make that not be the case, because it seemed too easy to just fill in the blanks without thinking about what should go there.
