>You have a choice of koolaid
I also have the choice to ignore all the methodology snake oil salesmen and actually write software. Every "methodology" is bullshit. The new ones are not any less bullshit than the old ones. The fact that your response assumes I must love the old version of "follow our stupid manager nonsense" is really pretty sad. You honestly can't even imagine a world where I might think all of the bullshit is equally worthless? I have to be an adherent to one of these religions?
- SideburnsOfDoom 15y agoYou have chosen the "just code" brand of koolaid. Results are highly variable, its hard to manage and it doesn't scale. But YMMV.
- SomeOtherGuy 15y agoThat response is even sadder. I haven't chosen the "just code" koolaid, but your religious beliefs are so deeply ingrained that you can only perceive me through that lens. As a result, you miss out on the great big world of "every situation is different and you should do what is appropriate instead of what some dipshit hawking books and seminars says".
- SideburnsOfDoom 15y agoActually, both of my previous comments made mention in passing of situations where I though a method wouldn't work. You say "every situation is different and you should do what is appropriate" but make no mention at all of which method is appropriate for which situation. Books and seminars, we got these, but good agile is done by adding in some open source software tools, a whiteboard, pens and cards, and people with enthusiasm and an open mind. The last one is most important. If we're still talking about the original post, then absolutely it's a belief system. Not a very well thought through one, though.
