    Totally agree that it has lost its meaning. We call things “incomplete work” that are, well, incomplete work.

    sbellware may have more to add, but there isn't a name for it. We focus more on the "it" than the branding of it. We do use the word "continuity" to describe our goal: https://github.com/aaronjensen/software-development/blob/mas...

    > The words "equipment log" and "work product" sound pretty unique.

    We call them "material logs", as equipment logs are more or less a subset of those. Just think about the sheet in every bathroom at a store that says when it was last cleaned, or the clipboard attached to the factory machine that lists its maintenance record and problems. Or the patient record outside of the patient's door.

    "work product" just means, the product of our work. Nothing special about that one, I don't think.

    > Are Erl's SOA books and Yourdon's on OOP still relevant?

    I haven't read either, personally, though I have Yourdon's book en route. We use the term "structural design" quite a bit, so I'm curious to see Yourdon's take on what they call "structured design". From everything I've read about it, it sounds very similar to a lot of how we think about things as it seems to be the basis for much of the coupling and cohesion thought in our industry.

    I'd also recommend studying Lean (not Lean Startup, which has much to do with Lean as non-fat yogurt does).

    There’s another way that feels totally unnatural at first, but puts the subject (the most important part) of the commit message first. It makes the commit about the change and the code, rather than the author. This is how we do it in all of our projects. I fought it at first, but I was wrong and it’s a lot better.

    Example:

    EntityStore build method records the specifier argument when given
