Comment on Don't Shave That Yak (2005)parent

Comments

This indicates both side of yak-shaving. The chain of requirements in the contrived example is (IMO) deliberately silly, and misses what you're (correctly) pointing out: it's not yak shaving if it's building capability...

...unless you know you won't - or don't know that you will - benefit from that boosted capability. Then it's back to yak shaving.
