But these local optimizations do not produce global optimums, and the fewer of us are looking at the output, the less it matters. Obviously my software factory ran aground over the ~35 hours that it ran, but you can see the gradual regression towards insanity from the notes that it produced. For instance the task naming in the task file starts with an optimistic 1, 2, 3, 5, 5a but then eventually gets to 8a, 8a1, and then ends up with 8b2c2b3 and “8b2c2b2b checkpoint1”.

the whole point of calling something a sprint is the implication that it is unsustainable

I believe this design difference emerged in part because of what we were attempting to build. NIP 29 groups tend to be more telegram-like, where groups function more like chat rooms, and users join each one individually. On flotilla, groups function more like Discord servers, or Slack workspaces, and users join an entire group of chat rooms at once.
