There's a time and place for everything.

I find that this style of programming is super useful in the technical design phase. During development I prefer to have a plan in place.

I'm a self-starter and ex-Geologist. I've spent the last 8+ years building startups, mostly on the frontend but quite happy doing full-stack. Looking for something fresh and interesting! Give me a shout if you see a good fit.

I'd be very interested in exploring this idea! Do you know of any board games that it could work for? This also just gave me an idea to justify my board game budget to my wife as a R&D business expense so thank you ;)
