- grepthisab 9y agoHard to take this guy seriously. He used to post pretty vile stuff online on a racist message board and had an entire Wikipedia article dedicated to his sockpuppeting.
- GuiA 9y agoIdk about him, and that article is very well written and insightful, with no traces of racism.
- myhrvold 9y agoI've never heard of him espousing detrimental views FWIW. He had a public spat with Google after he left though: https://www.quora.com/What-does-it-feel-like-to-be-fired-from-Google/answer/Michael-O-Church?srid=uP9B https://www.quora.com/What-does-it-feel-like-to-be-fired-fro... There used to be a lot more blog articles about it (on that same blog I believe), but now that it's been a number of years (maybe even 10 by now?) I think they've slowly started disappearing. Edit: here's the explanation on why you can't find a lot of his earlier material online: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/44bmmq/why_agile_and_especially_scrum_are_terrible/czp6a7m/ https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/44bmmq/why_agi...
