The thing about "features" is that they aren't linear, they form a tree: *every* technical artifact--hell, every *line* of code--both satisfies some demands and (often) creates new ones.

Deciding which branches to follow, which to prune and when to do both is complex and ever-changing as the delivery system cycles demands...

Much of what's wrong with "product thinking" and "agile" today can be explained as a consequence of placing this responsibility in the hands of folks that neither understand this, nor are accountable to those who do.

I have a large pile of old laptop 2.5" HDD drives (NOT SSD) in varying GB sizes. I think I might do something mad with them and build a 20 drive (or more) RAID NAS.

The only thing I need really, is 20 port (or more) SATA PCI-E card... Does such a thing exist?
