His heroes are the agile manifesto folks? Yeah, it is a good thing he disagrees with them. Bob Martin has been posting howlers for a long time. One of the problems with never formally studying CS is that you might never discover real computer scientists who could be your heroes. Who could disagree with Lamport, peyton jones, Hinton?
- Animats 5y agoAgile is a tool for feature-dominated webcrap where "sort of works" is good enough. It's not useful for, say, database internals or hard real-time. If you just need to put ads on a page, a deep knowledge of Knuth and Dijkstra will just make you unhappy with the mess that HTML/CSS/Javascript has become.

- zozbot234 5y ago> Agile is a tool for feature-dominated webcrap where "sort of works" is good enough. It's not useful for, say, database internals or hard real-time. Have to disagree there. The basic point of "agile" methods is to promote small-scale teams (with the fabled "two-pizza team" at the largest end) doing heavily-iterative development with an emphasis on refactoring and continuous delivery ("release early and often"). There's no reason why this could not work for these sorts of projects.
