> "I don't think this is truly realized, but all this information written down in word sheets, requirements, knowledge passed on in meetings, little tricks and short hacks solved in video calls, information passed in emails and instant messaging is information that is part of the project, that is put down in some kind of a language, a non-formal one like English or tables or boxes or scribbles or laughs and jokes. The more a project has of these, the harder it is to talk about and verify the actual state of the project as it is obviously impossible to evaluate a non-formal language like you would a formal programming language and thus it becomes that much harder to explore and play with, test and explore the project."

I've thought all this sloppy side information would be a good target for the currently in vogue AI techniques.
