Being responsible, Pragmatic Programmers won't sit idly by and watch their projects fall apart through neglect. In Software Entropy, we tell you how to keep your projects pristine. Most people find change difficult to accept, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes because of plain old inertia.

One of the benefits of understanding the context in which you work is that it becomes easier to know just how good your software has to be.

Bold: How to Go Big, Create Wealth and Impact the World
by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler
Published 3 Feb 2015

That story of stone soup comes from an old folktale that eventually became a children’s book. I heard it in college and it’s never left me.

After the university had five years and about 550 alumni under its belt, we finally decided to try and parlay our assets into step 4 of our vision—a permanent terrestrial campus. One small problem: We had no tangible assets. As a fully virtual university with no campus, no cash, and a borrowed faculty—our only assets were our brand, our alumni, and our vision. Thus it was time to make stone soup.15 How to Make Stone Soup A long time ago, in a tiny medieval village, a farmer spots three soldiers on the edge of town. Knowing what would likely happen next, he runs into the marketplace shouting a warning: “Quick, close the doors, lock the windows! There are soldiers coming and they’ll take away all our food.”

Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat
by Bee Wilson
Published 14 Sep 2012

In Celtic myth, cauldrons are capable of summoning up both eternal abundance and absolute knowledge. To have a pot and nothing to put in it was the depths of misery. In the story called “Stone Soup” (which has many versions) some travelers come to a village carrying an empty cooking pot and beg for some food. The villagers refuse. The travelers produce a stone and some water and claim they are making “stone soup.” The villagers are so fascinated, they each add a little something to the pot—a few vegetables, some seasoning—until finally the “stone soup” has become a rich cassoulet-like hot pot, from which all can feast. Acquiring a cauldron required a sizable outlay.

Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations
by Clay Shirky
Published 28 Feb 2008

(Flickr made the sharing of photos the default option, though users could turn it off.) Yet the attraction of such photos required an audience, and the logical place to get that audience was from among other Flickr users. Like the proverbial stone soup, the promise would be achieved only if everyone participated, and like the soldiers who convince the townspeople to make the stone soup, the only way to hold the site together before it reached critical mass was through personal charisma. Caterina Fake, one of the founders of Flickr, said she’d learned from the early days that “you have to greet the first ten thousand users personally.”

Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation
by Michael Pollan
Published 22 Apr 2013

In the imagination, at least, this kind of cooking qualifies as a transubstantiation of matter, in this instance not of water into wine but of something no less miraculous: water into milk. “Stone Soup” is the ancient parable of this everyday miracle, of turning water into food. In the story, which has been told for centuries in many different cultures (sometimes as “Nail Soup” or “Button Soup” or “Ax Soup”), some poor, hungry strangers come to town with nothing but an empty pot. The villagers refuse them food, so the strangers fill their pot with water, drop a stone in it, and put it on to boil in the town square. This arouses the curiosity of the villagers, who ask the strangers what it is they’re making. “Stone soup,” the strangers explain.

We’ve had devoted tech volunteers, and received support from foundations, donors, and the government—but, it hasn’t been enough to cross the threshold into sustainable operations. Our current plan is to focus on fundraising and cross-subsidization from commercially viable products. We have thirty members, an elected board of five representatives, a user-friendly search-and-display codebase (Stone Soup), and the beginnings of a technical solution to the directory-updates challenge (daff).

Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach
by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig
Published 14 Jul 2019

Felner et al. (2004) show encouraging results using pattern databases for sliding-tile puzzles, which can be thought of as a planning domain, but Hoffmann et al. (2006) show some limitations of abstraction for classical planning problems. (Rintanen, 2012) discusses planning-specific variable-selection heuristics for SAT solving. Helmert et al. (2011) describe the Fast Downward Stone Soup (FDSS) system, a portfolio planner that, as in the fable of stone soup, invites us to throw in as many planning algorithms as possible. The system maintains a set of training problems, and for each problem and each algorithm records the run time and resulting plan cost of the problem’s solution. Then when faced with a new problem, it uses the past experience to decide which algorithm(s) to try, with what time limits, and takes the solution with minimal cost.

Barbara McInnis, a friend of the poor, Standing there with us through hard times and more, Barbara McInnis, the salt of the earth May the world someday remember her worth… Jim pulled off the road and sat for a while, until the surprise wore off. The lyrics came from “A Song for Barbara,” by a folksinger named Ben Tousley. He had volunteered with Barbara at the Stone Soup Mobile Food Service, which brought soup and bread and pastries to poor and homeless people in the South End. Ben remembered her bear hug, as did Larry Adams, as did Jim: “She’d just envelop you, and nobody could say no after that.” Jim knew almost nothing about her former life, but she still inhabited his present.

The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature
by Steven Pinker
Published 1 Jan 2002

They have built hybrid systems, with one network that retrieves irregular forms from memory and another that combines a verb with a suffix.17 A system assembled out of beefed-up subnetworks could escape all the criticisms. But then we would no longer be talking about a generic neural network! We would be talking about a complex system innately tailored to compute a task that people are good at. In the children’s story called “Stone Soup,” a hobo borrows the use of a woman’s kitchen ostensibly to make soup from a stone. But he gradually asks for more and more ingredients to balance the flavor until he has prepared a rich and hearty stew at her expense. Connectionist modelers who claim to build intelligence out of generic neural networks without requiring anything innate are engaged in a similar business.

…

They are typically hand-picked by the modeler, like an inventor rummaging through a box of transistors and diodes, but in a real brain they would have evolved by natural selection (indeed, in some networks, the architecture of the model does evolve by a simulation of natural selection).18 The only alternative is that some previous episode of learning left the networks in a state ready for the current learning, but of course the buck has to stop at some innate specification of the first networks that kick off the learning process. So the rumor that neural networks can replace mental structure with statistical learning is not true. Simple, generic networks are not up to the demands of ordinary human thinking and speaking; complex, specialized networks are a stone soup in which much of the interesting work has been done in setting up the innate wiring of the network. Once this is recognized, neural network modeling becomes an indispensable complement to the theory of a complex human nature rather than a replacement for it.19 It bridges the gap between the elementary steps of cognition and the physiological activity of the brain and thus serves as an important link in the long chain of explanation between biology and culture.

The American Way of Poverty: How the Other Half Still Lives
by Sasha Abramsky
Published 15 Mar 2013

Able to make their income cover two or three weeks of expenses out of each month, these people were juggling which bills to pay, which services to let be cut off, which meals to skip, and which medicines to do without come the end of the pay cycle. Billye’s husband, a World War II veteran suffering from bone cancer when I interviewed him in late 2011, put it this way: When we were younger, and we had moved up here from the Bay Area, we had some really hard times raising our family. I remember, we got to say “we lived on stone soup.” Pancakes sometimes—with syrup on ’em as long as we had syrup, sometimes pancakes without anything. We struggled simply just to feed our family. So we understand what it is to be hungry. I’ve worked pretty hard all my life; never taken any workmen’s compensation or unemployment insurance or money from charitable things.

The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science
by J. Kenji López-Alt
Published 20 Sep 2015

I did well in math and sciences (and particularly poorly in English, for the record), spending my summers playing music (chamber music camp, not band camp, thank you very much!) or working in biology laboratories. Did I ever show an inclination to cook? Not really. I took an after-school cooking class in third grade, where I learned to make simple syrup and stone soup. My dad trained me in the art of making open-faced tuna melts on Saturdays. He also taught me a valuable lesson in how not to cut a block of frozen beef straight from the freezer into steaks—a memorable afternoon that included the line, “Kenji, go get me the hammer,” and concluded with shards of knife all over the kitchen floor and beef still as blocky as it ever was.

I felt driven to find words to express what I’d seen. I kept refining my poems, trying to make them better. That’s what made the difference.” “I felt driven too,” Jack said. “Sometimes I’ve wondered if the gun can affect human minds. Maybe it brainwashed us into becoming who we are.” “Or maybe it’s just Stone Soup,” Kirsten said. “You know the story? Someone claims he can make soup from a stone, but what he really does is trick people into adding their own food to the pot. Maybe the ray-gun is like that. It did nothing but sit there like a stone. You and I did everything—made ourselves who we are—and the raygun is only an excuse.”
