Making Myself Uncomfortable (A Zombie’s Journey)
But carrying it forward, how can you make the product adapt on its own, naturally, without your intervention? How can it be a platform to allow people to create innovations on top of it?
Re: products self-adapting, that's going to be amazing! For now, the best I see is where a service is so general that a third-party ecosystem can innovate on top of it. Twitter would be an example...also, desire paths can be observed and implemented by humans (not as cool as self-adapting, but still very wonderful and smart). Twitter added the @reply functionality only after users set up the convention.
