"Using Naur's ideas, the designer's job is not to pass along 'the design' but to pass along 'the theories' driving the design. The latter goal is more useful and more appropriate. It also highlights that knowledge of the theory is tacit in the owning, and so passing along the theory requires passing along both explicit and tacit knowledge" from https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Naur.pdf 💯 I think this is a nuanced, software-specific way to say "don't assign people tasks, instead explain the goals and share what you know so they can make good choices on their own instead of (poorly) executing on your private choices"
