The thinkers Learn-Driven Development builds on.
Learn-Driven Development builds explicitly on:
- Alistair Cockburn: Fine-grained incremental development, the principle that unvalidated decisions are toxic inventory, Hexagonal Architecture.
- Ryan Singer (Basecamp): Shape Up's shaping step, appetite (which LDD evolves into the learning horizon), the circuit breaker, the insight that scope should be variable when time is fixed.
- Henrik Kniberg: The observation that coding is no longer the bottleneck; the importance of context engineering; the role of agents as execution partners.
- Lean Startup / Eric Ries: The build-measure-learn loop as the atomic unit of progress.
- Elizabeth K. (LinkedIn conversation): The insight that learning speed, not build speed, is now the constraint.
