Interesting to know - thanks for the info. Strange to think that something designed for 'known, understandable, repeatable work' got adopted by software development.


Some software-related work, like regular changes to a website, or regular SRE work, is understandable and relatively repeatable.

Software development work usually isn't. Software development, by its nature, automates away everything repeatable and predictable, so unpredictable and never-before-seen stuff dominates.
