The guy who wrote the article is Michael Descy. The article mentions GTD a few times, THAT is what David Allen is responsible for, but the article also mentioned the Autofocus system, which was a new concept to me and which I am now quite fascinated by.
> cults... programmers
I've been coding for 20+ years and have yet to see any correlation between programmers and any cult (cargo or otherwise... ok maybe cargo SOMEtimes, but certainly nothing else)
- Flankk 5y agoGTD seminars are used to induct members into the cult. It's analogous to Scientology and their ideas on productivity. The audience for GTD is mostly programmers due to corporations sponsoring the seminars. Everything programmers do is ideological. Programming is also hard which is why coders are susceptible to scams. Uncle Bob and OOP principles are very cult-like as well although the methodology has proven itself suboptimal and convoluted.
- pmarreck 5y agoAny thoughts on the Autofocus method? It seems to have had a heyday I missed about 10-11 years ago with apps made very specific to it kind of being end-of-lifed as of 5+ years ago (sadly), but it looks useful (and not at all culty)
