Hard 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 sockpup

  Idk about him, and that article is very well written and insightful, with no traces of racism.

    I'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...
