subtitle: The G.K. Chesterton Approach to Software Development
The early-20th century author G.K. Chesterton wrote one of the most insightful things I've ever read about politics, which also happens to apply perfectly to software development. The spirit of it is: changing things is fine, but understand what you're changing before you do it. I will present the full quotation, then dig into how it applies to software development, and some simple tools and techniques you can use to apply this in real life.
