I notice they link to The Pragmatic Programmer here:

> If it’s a true greenfield project you are “prototyping”, if it’s part of an existing project you are making a “tracer bullet”.

In the C2 wiki, someone paraphrases it like this:

> In PragmaticProgrammer, they talk about TracerBullets in the context of building an ArchitecturalPrototype - a bare-bones skeleton of your system that is complete enough to hang future pieces of functionality on. It's exploratory, but it's not really a prototype because you are not planning to throw it away - it will become the foundation of your real system. https://wiki.c2.com/?TracerBullets

Wikipedia has a description in the context of Scrum here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(software_development)#T...

Does anyone remember more about what Pragmatic Programmer says about this topic?
