Looking at the list, I feel timing makes a big difference*. You need to be early enough that people think you are a bit crazy, but not too early that the tech isn't there or even e…

Ratchet is a good name/pattern. It is also grandfathering. It is similar to how code coverage can be done. Old coverage may be low e.g. 40%, but may require 80% coverage on new lin…
