Your analogy assumes that the goal of code is to make your code more and more clever over time, just as a weightlifter seeks to lift heavier and heavier. The goal of code, however, is simply to communicate a process to a computer. Or rather, when that process is subject to change over time, to communicate a process to a computer, simply.

I've heard, "Product," be replaced with, "Prototype," where a prototype is not a pre-product but more a thing that can be offered that will give information about what needs you should be addressing, how the product might solve them, and help you identify who your most satisfied customers will be (among other things).

While you still have the agility you can only get from zero operational overhead, worry more about finding something people want, who wants it, and why they want it. Scaling is less than worthless if what you're scaling is worthless.

It's everything surrounding this statement that is refreshing. Hearing, "Diversity is not our goal; creating an environment that welcomes diversity is," runs counter to the incessant assumptions that going out of our way to collect diversity tokens is the end all and be all to facilitating diversity.
