Why I built Walden.
Building software used to be expensive. Every line had a cost, the cost was time, and time was a limited resource. The tools we use to manage the work were built for that world. Making things is not the expensive part anymore, and it gets cheaper every month. The tools didn't update to accommodate this change. The scarce thing used to be time, now it's judgment. When building is cheap, the only question left is whether to build it at all, and every tool I know is built to answer how fast.
