Is there a good term for "after using this feature we realised that the best design is different from the current design"? In casual conversation I generally hear "bug" but there was nothing wrong with the original implementation.

I see people advocating for writing a FAQ, but I really struggle to write one from scratch. The best FAQs are written as a response to, well, frequent questions. How do you populate the initial FAQ?

I've been learning some Common Lisp by writing some simple JSON munging programs. I'm sure it's not best practice — I should probably deserialise to CLOS automatically — but it's a nice way to get comfortable with the basics. It feels weird deliberately ignoring helpers though.
