Dave Farley, Kent Beck and Gergely Orosz are hardly non-noteworthy people. Farley is best known as being a significant contributor to Continuous Delivery. Kent Beck was an initial signatory to the agile manifesto. Gergely Orosz has four books to his credit and has a significant following.
Farley didn't mock them - he had open contempt. Beck and Orosz wrote a great critique, but had no mocking involved.
But calling them ex-fintech is kind of like saying Marjorie Taylor Greene is an ex-CrossFit gym owner. While technically true, it's not the relevant accomplishment in most conversations.
- jncfhnb 3y agoOk! So that makes sense. These are people with some credibility and authority. Why the hell is this not mentioned in the article in favor of their former jobs?!
- syndicatedjelly 3y agoBecause the content of an argument should trump the last title someone held?
- jncfhnb 3y agoThat may apply to logical debate, but it does not apply to persuasive writing nor interesting reporting. Writing about a person and providing background information about their former job but not about the facts that make them pertinent to the subject matter is dumb.
- ebiester 3y agoIt's an article written by someone outside the community with low context, and likely for $20 or something similar. It's a low quality article.
