Does your brain need a lifecycle management tool?

David Tebbutt

Wouldn't it be great to stamp our thoughts with an expiry date and have a little pinger go off when it's time to revisit? Then we'd be able to junk or update them, instead of having them fossilise or turn into prejudices.

When you visit a restaurant and find it so unsatisfactory you vow never to go again, what's the chance of your returning if it changes hands but keeps its old name? Not good, I reckon.

It's the same with software, especially when the version number is the only clue that it's been modified. It doesn't exactly scream "upgrade me", does it? Perhaps that's why Microsoft named its last two Windows releases XP and Vista.

It's even worse in the web service world where much software just follows the "xyz beta" label format.
