Hey folks,
I've started a new blog series that attempts to advocate for using TLA+ in smaller teams and startup environments. I am, in fact, trying to demystify TLA+ for my own team, and in the process help others in a similar position do the same.
As I'm new to TLA+ myself, I decided to try to illustrate my point by walking through a superficially simple system concept (elevator control software), which I think will actually get fiendishly complex quite quickly as it is expanded. Elevator control software is not what we do as a team, but I wanted to use an example that anyone could relate to.
I'd very much welcome feedback from the community on a) whether you think I'm onto something with my core hypothesis, or on a complete hiding to nothing; and b) how it could be improved. In particular, as a relative newcomer, I'm quite sure I will have used some of the wrong terminology, made some dumb choices, or explained something incorrectly. I would be very much open to corrections and suggestions!
Next up in the series, I'm going to attempt to create a useful temporal formula for my elevator's behaviours. Wish me luck...
Thanks,
Neil
