Write about productivity crap all you want, if your results are just plain bad compared to others then everyone with a clue will know it's bullshit, you are only fooling newbies, yourself and other kool-aid drinkers.

Obsidian is one thing, but forcing a bad programming methodology onto a problem can waste years of time. Focus on results rather than arguments. I've read beautiful arguments from people I consider insane after seeing their code. Metz is the Aristotle of our time.

Or at the very least define your problem rigorously if you want to apply human reasoning to it. And obviously if the problem changes your "system" for solving the problem should change too, otherwise you are just a dead man walking.
