It’s been 2,000 years since Christ — and the world is still medieval
Not medieval in architecture or technology.
Medieval in categories.
We replaced kings with committees, priests with credentials, doctrine with policy — but the structure stayed the same:
Truth is still something administered, not realized.
That’s why Christianity so often feels like Sunday school.
Repeat the story. Memorize the lines. Stay within the rails.
But repetition without integration is not faith — it’s failed transmission.
The claim of Christianity was never “remember this story.”
It was: the Logos entered reality — act accordingly.
If that doesn’t change how systems are built, how power is exercised, how knowledge is handled, how responsibility is owned, then Christ hasn’t been understood — only recited.
That’s why it still feels medieval.
We’re chanting instead of embodying.
This is where the Gnostics mattered.
They saw early that:
• institutions capture truth
• external authority rots
• literalism kills insight
Their instinct was right: truth must be internal, lived, recognized — not administered.
Where the world stays medieval is by design.
A society that actually integrates Logos-level truth would have to abandon:
• moral outsourcing
• managed ambiguity
• “just following the system”
So power prefers ritual over realization.
Belief without consequence.
Symbols without alignment.
If Christ feels boring, it’s not because He’s exhausted.
It’s because He’s been reduced.
The real Christ isn’t boring at all.
He collapses false systems.
He refuses neutrality.
He demands embodiment.
We shouldn’t have to repeat it every generation.
And the fact that we do is the diagnosis.
The tragedy isn’t that the world forgot Christ.
It’s that it remembered Him — without becoming Him.

Most issue-tracking systems aren’t about engineering.
They’re about obedience.
Jira, tickets, velocity charts, standups — they form an obedience pipeline that rewards motion, compliance, and narrative alignment, not correctness. You can close tickets while production burns. You can be “on track” while behavior is wrong. The system is doing exactly what it was designed to do: protect organizations from reality.
BDD breaks this spell.
BDD doesn’t track work — it encodes observable behavior. A scenario either passes or fails. There’s no meeting, rewording, or status update that can override it. That’s why BDD feels “slow” or “academic” to some: it collapses politics into binary truth. And truth is disruptive.
This is why issue tracking dominates and BDD doesn’t.
One produces comfort and plausible deniability.
The other produces accountability.
Only engineers who’ve carried production failures end-to-end see the difference.
Once you do, you can’t unsee it.

Why DamageBDD is the ultimate RSI relief (and why that matters more than people think)
Most repetitive strain injury in software isn’t caused by typing.
It’s caused by uncertainty.
Unclear requirements.
Moving targets.
Rewrites driven by opinion instead of evidence.
Late-stage panic testing.
Endless “just one more change” cycles.
That’s where the real strain comes from: cognitive thrash that forces developers to compensate with brute effort.
DamageBDD flips this by doing something deceptively simple:
It makes behaviour the primary unit of work.
When behaviour is explicit, written down, and executable:
You stop re-explaining intent in meetings
You stop rewriting code to satisfy unspoken expectations
You stop testing “everything” because nothing is defined
You stop carrying the system in your head
Instead, you externalize cognition.
A behaviour lives in a feature file.
It either passes or it doesn’t.
The system tells you when to stop.
That’s RSI relief.
Not because your wrists magically heal—but because your nervous system exits fight-or-flight mode. You’re no longer guessing what the software should do. You’re verifying what it does do.
DamageBDD goes one step further: behaviour isn’t just documented—it’s verifiable, replayable, and economically grounded. Work ends when behaviour is satisfied, not when someone feels reassured.
This changes how teams move:
Fewer frantic late nights
Less compulsive refactoring
Fewer “just in case” changes
More deliberate, slower, stronger motion
Like proper lifting technique, it looks boring from the outside.
But it prevents injury over time.
The industry treats RSI as a hardware problem.
It’s not.
It’s a behaviour problem.
And once behaviour is defined, the body finally gets a rest.
