Perhaps save this link for the weekend. This is an outstanding essay advocating what it calls "mob software" design. But that's only one aspect of an essay that is luxuriant in novel ideas. Now it's about software design, but you should (as with similar articles) apply the principles to online learning design. And let me add: this article expresses my vision. This is what I'm up to! Why? Because: "We can never move forward — we can never move forward — while the bulk of software work is done in secret and while wholly inadequate resources are given to it. Currently, almost all software development work is carried out in a way that cannot result in beautiful, living, adaptable artifacts." This article is a must-read and is destined to be a classic.
