A takeaway for me (drawn from what he wrote^1) is that a big increase in velocity can unlock the ability to incorporate things learned along the way into a JIT / as-you-go full redesign (for coherence) vs traditional approach (slower, incremental, features added closer to release can't influence over…

HN discussionI'm really excited about this library. Wrapture is a new project from Graham, who previously developed wrapt (a 20+ year old Python monkey patching library) and built the first version of the New Relic Python agent - the library that instruments your app so New Relic can show you watt its doing. Wrapture provides the ability to both mock and instrument code in the same toolset. You can use it in tests for "did this…
