During the genesis of the system she should rewrite this primitive kernel again and again, in order to find the best possible design. My hypothesis is that this initial design will greatly inform what will happen later: growing organically something that has a good initial structure will result in a better system, even after years of distance from the original creation, and even if the original core was just a tiny faction of the future mass the system would eventually assume.&lt;p&gt;I thought this paragraph had an interesting point. Does anyone have experience with testing this hypothesis?</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Programming and Writing</title><url>http://antirez.com/news/135</url></story>
