The following on bit from those statements is:
“That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.”
So your colleagues view was a pretty extreme one compared to the moderation shown there. But like any philosophy you end up with fundamentalists taking things too far even in the face of reality being more complex. It’s terrifyingly dogmatic to argue from scripture rather than pragmatics.
- pydry 4y agoI dont think it was dogmatism. I think they genuinely didnt think we had time to write tests, etc. and when I argued that we should do it to be more "agile" because we'd all committed to being agile up front (in theory) they googled what the principles and said "look, thats not what agile says". I agree that arguing from scripture is awful. I havent tried to do it since. I would like to see some other sort of anti-waterfall set of principles that I could get behind though.
