As you well know Nick I meant all the above.
Just because this whole conversation appears to be wedded to failure
it doesn't mean it is always going to be a wishywashy tumbledown flop.
Yeah definition is difficult. Doesn't mean its not worth trying.
Whilst I doubt live coding is quite as significant to the world as
other slippery concepts such as art, creativity or yack shaving I
refuse to believe that beating it with a big stick isn't a worthy
process.
