I don't think so. The engineering behind an F1 car is not relevant to those buying consumer cars, but it helps sell them regardless.

Huh? F1 has always been meant and actively steered towards being a testing ground for consumer car tech.

I would add to the "what it's not" with one extra point, building without the expectation of others using the product. Not even buying, just using.

Love this idea, and I'm absolutely in favour of stripping assumptions. It just seems too easy to slip into old habits. For example:

> Since I was digging a trench for the fiber optic cables to run from the road to my house, it made sense to get electric service.

Good example of being too rigid with principles, perhaps.

I have started filtering for pre-2020 items when I am searching for articles.

Obviously not a silver bullet - for example, not much help if you're looking for modern tooling-related stuff - but I've found it really useful as a way of reading up on fundamentals.

Good point, and I do agree with it. I suppose I was specifically talking about the processes that a team uses - I guess"Agile" just rolls off the tongue easier.
