The seven dinners

From the database
to the table.

The Empty Seat Method

Every entry,
tested from the chair of someone who knows nothing about it.

The chef testing the dish from the diner's chair. The author writing the entry from the reader's chair. The platform itself tested from the empty seat at the table.
