Lateral thinking and “Flintstoning” your way around technical problems
Lateral thinking and “Flintstoning” your way around technical problems
What is Flintstoning?
Flintstoning is using human power under the hood to solve what would traditionally be a software-based problem.
When does it make sense to Flintstone?
your problem is a good candidate for a Flintstoning-based solution:
- problem is particularly “fuzzy”
- a human can do the task cheaply
- easy to expose an interface
- costs of solving via software-powered outweigh value of problem
- does not need to be solved in real-time
