Is it perhaps available behind a flag somewhere?

How do you update pmiles? Do you have to rebuild the entire map every time? If so, I think that's a downside/limitation for some use cases.

I think "it" refers to the process of sitting on the mat.

And vice versa, many of our societal issues would go away, if companies won't only be concerned about profits.

Let's not blame the players for the game rules being flawed.

Sure. Using things like loops and conditionals to stitch parts of the specification together is not a very declarative way to do things, imo. Regarding a better system I don't know, they all have their quirks, I guess. My point was that purely declarative approach has its limits and often times breaks when facing real world complexity.

This is the case with any other declarative programming system: while you only care about "what", i.e. the end result matching your declarative specification, you are living a dream. Once you need to fine-tune the details of how you get there (e.g. performance, resource use), or tweak the end result in a way that is not easy to describe within the constraints of your declarative dream land, things get ugly pretty quickly. Query hints in some SQL dialects, vendor-specific hacks in HTML/CSS, Kubernetes YAML templating, etc. are all sad stories about it.

The answer perhaps depends on how you define "understanding" and "meaning", and whether these concepts are separable from language at all.

Just curious, if it's pure htmx, doesn't this mean that most of UI interactive actions do a roundtrip to the server to update the app state? Or have you used hyperscript for some parts?

Well, being able to identify potentially locally optimal solutions without having to go through an entire optimization process yourself is a pretty powerful heuristic in my book.

Appeal to nature might be a logical fallacy in arguments, but in practice is a useful heuristic anyway.

Well, in your example, with default params, you get back an "undefined undefined", not an empty string, so even simple code is sometimes easy to get wrong. Proper amount of typing actually helps a lot to avoid it.

This is so nicely formulated, thank you so much! I'm just thinking, isn't what you describe the general problem of agile methods/processes, and not Jira's, as it's just one of tools built to assist in agile implementation?
