Episode 3: Technical Debt On Wheels

What if you were required to write a prototype for every significant development of your software system?

In this episode:

• Prototypes as the only means of proposal
• New, bootstrappy architectures vs old, established architectures
• Prototype the non-code parts of the problem
• Prototypes as risk management for legacy, debt-encrusted systems
• Can you really prototype a monolithic mountain of madness?
• No prototyping without loose coupling?
• What is a prototype anyway?
• Distributed architectures and prototyping
• Prototype first as an antidote to the monolith
• A paper prototype is misleading
• Prototypes reveal the hidden horror beneath a beautiful diagram
• The value of a pre-prototype discussion
• Wherefore art thou estimation?
• Changing the meaning of change
• Prototypes: the enemy of status-quo or the safest way to grow?
