Minimal Viable Programming

What is the goal of programming at Bitreich? KatolaZ wrote a nice
summary:

	gopher://katolaz.net/0/p/MVP.txt

To quote what minimal viable programs are:

	A minimal viable program is the smallest program that solves a
	particular problem.  It is small and beautiful. It has no
	additional
	features.

	If you removed a single feature it would be totally useless. If
	you
	added a new feature that feature would not be essential, you
	could use
	the program without making use of the new feature.

This is in concordance with the bitreich manifesto:

The MVP article has been preserved in

	git://bitreich.org/bitreich-style

for future references and a further discussion of definitions and where
things should go to for a better daily software life.

Thanks KatolaZ for the thoughts and writing!


Sincerely yours,
