The most interesting part of this talk was how many dead-ends they hit in the process, and how those dead-ends basically sunk many of the popular notions of how to improve programming.

- Make it visual = doesn't pan out

I find the end result (kinda like a Wiki crossed with a Relational DB) intriguing.
