Hey, OP here.

I'm a heavy proponent of "we play (at work/in prod) like we practice (in personal projects)", so that idea of TDD/LP as "peformance approach" is interesting. Thanks for that.

And on the tension between initially "after the fact" rationalization vs as-you-go LP, I tried to keep myself honest: The git repo has tags for each feature's initial completion[1]. One can indeed compare how the features were initially written vs how they ended up after the (heavy) editing passes. As you'll see, it's more than just more explicit text, there's a few bugs/warts that I cleaned up. Definitely felt this tension of "I can make it better" vs "I should keep the narrative intact".
