Improve in public, with use.

technique — attributed to Mike Duignan

New build environments shorten the distance between creator and user. A burnout tool gets sharper when event professionals push on it. An advocacy tool improves when people try to use it in the real world. A development planner becomes useful when people bring actual career messiness to it. Tools do not have to emerge fully finished to matter. They can improve in public, with use.

Duignan's argument for why this kind of system can exist now in a way it couldn't before.
