Are we supposed to keep writing bugs and feature requests on prompts 3-5? I don't think it would hurt, and I did write more, but I'm not sure if that's what's intended.

Yeah, in general when this activity is done in-person, people are writing/typing for the whole 15-25min, and each successive prompt is basically just another way to re-ask the same question. If the frame of "bugs and feature requests" starts to feel too [whatever], another way to think of it is to just keep writing down threads-to-pull-on.

This was written in mid-2022, so it's probably at least somewhat more up-to-date (but also might be slightly tweaked in the direction of 'stuff Duncan endorses'. Duncan no longer works at CFAR and if CFAR makes further updates to the handbook I could imagine them diverging)
I'm struggling to make the connection too. Things are made of parts, and by spending $12 on dinner I'm trading money for nutrients and satisfaction and time saved by not making dinner myself. So what's the thing in this context and what are the parts? Is the thing the act of buying dinner, the parts the $12 I put in and the good things I get out? If I put the $12 to something else, I also lose the nutrients and satisfaction and time, so that doesn't work out.
Maybe the currencies are the things, and the parts are whatever unit is appropriate for that ... (read more)
