Debating a new /wayfinder change:
Lots of folks are reporting that /wayfinder doesn’t do as much ‘shared language’ work as /grill-with-docs stuff. I am also seeing this.
So, I propose adding an explicit step BEFORE we make the map to firm up the language.
I.e. in the very first /wayfinder mapping session, you immediately go into /domain-modeling (if needed) to establish the new entities.
That way, the new language bleeds into all the rest of the tickets before they’re created, making them more concise.
WDYT?
