Alternative Dictionary

An alternative loopian dicationary.

loop: A completed feedback cycle.
loops: Plural of Loop. The name of the process.
looped: Past tense of Loop. The process of having feedback provided to you.

loopm : Someone providing manual feedback loops (loop em).
loopa: An automated process/daemon providing automated feedback (loop uhh).

Prefixes:

    • s- loops that operate on a second by second basis.
    • m- loops that operate on a minute by minute basis
    • h- loops that operate on an hour by hour basis
    • d- loops that operate on a day by day basis

Putting these definitions together we could get:

s-loopm:  Someone providing feedback on a second by second basis, usually through pairing.

s-loopa: Something providing feedback on a second by second basis.

Here, rewritten, are the loops listed in a previous post:

  1. As a loopm,I want my design ideas sloopm so I do not get stuck and waste time.
  2. As a loopm, I want my variable names sloopm for clarity so the code is easier to maintain the very first time it is checked in.
  3. As a loopm, I want my class/function names sloopm for clarity so the code is easier to maintain the very first time it is checked in.
  4. As a loopm, I want my each line of code sloopm for clarity so the code is easier to maintain the very first time it is checked in.
  5. As a loopm, I want each line of code sloopm for logic errors to reduce errors in the code the very first time it is checked in.

Writing a few more loops this way:

  1. As a loopm, I want my token of code sloopa as I  type for syntax errors so no syntax errors are introduced as I type.
  2. As a loopm, I want each function of code I am editing sloopa as I type for unit correctness so I do not have to wait to run all the unit tests to see that this code is accurate. **
  3. As a loopm, I want all units dependent on the code I am editing mloopa for unit correctness so I know if I am breaking code in dependent systems before I check the code into production.
