At work the other day one of the other programmers mentioned an agile-development concept called “firing a tracer”, where you pick a small, self-contained piece of a big, risky change and implement it so you learn things and better assess how to proceed.
I responded that I liked the concept, but didn’t like the martial tone of the metaphor. I proposed that instead we call it “adopting a kitten,” as in the kind of thing you should do before deciding whether to have a child.
