TIL about "stigmergy" from @futurebird talking about ants
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigmergy in humans is also really neat, even if it's the same human that returns to the work later
leaving a FIXME note (or an intentionally failing but disabled unit test) in your code is an example of it
Maybe even setting your thoughts down "on paper" to look at them later is a form of stigmergy?
@trochee @futurebird Neat! Stigmergy seems to have a lot of overlap with “kanban” as well. Note the lowercase “k”. I mean the classic concept from Japanese and Toyota Production System—not the named methods that sprouted from the Agile movement.
My under-qualified take: Stigmergy seems to be the system of signals and actions, whereas kanban refers mostly to a given signal in the environment.
Asking those who know better: am I understanding correctly?
