I don’t think anyone who’s ever programmed with Ward Cunningham would call him a charlatan.

- pcmoney 5y agoI mean all the people trying to sell you methodologies and scrum masters and all that huey. The manifesto is just guidelines and tradeoff preferences. Its nothing special, its nothing new, its just concise and unfortunately marketable.
- corpMaverick 5y agoI don't think the parent comment is talking about Ward or any of the original signers of the Agile Manifest. I think it is talking about all the consultants that sell services that do not understand the original principles.
- mcguire 5y agoAre there original signers of the Agile Manifest who aren't consultants?
- mcguire 5y agoHas anyone ever programmed with Ward Cunningham? What code has he shipped?
- jdlshore 5y agoI have, and so have a lot of people. (Look up “Ward Number”). He worked at Tektronix back in the day. He created the WikiWikiWeb in about 90 lines of tight Perl. He is currently building the Federated Wiki. He’s currently working at New Relic, last I heard. He also created Fit, which I had the pleasure of working with him on. It was a very different coding style than mine, very tight and flexible. I learned a lot.
