Field notes
The page treats abstinence as an experiment rather than a universal prohibition, offering both a strict version and adaptations for work or home. Its proposed replacement activities range from code katas and manual cleanup to learning Zig, Rust, Go, Lua, or TypeScript and building a game with Excalibur or Godot. It also suggests comparing team velocity, incident rate, and cost, while making a stated exception for translation tools.
