He's not saying replacing customer collaboration with programming. He's saying replace bleeding clients dry under the pretense of customer collaboration with programming.
- viraptor 3y agoHe's saying the customer collaboration is just a con for bleeding clients dry and he should just do programming. I read "just" as only/instead in this case.
- Tabular-Iceberg 3y agoAs presently practiced they all indeed are cons for bleeding clients dry. I haven't met Zed, but I can't imagine he thinks he can read minds, he must ask at some point what the customer wants to get out of the project. But the endless bikeshedding meetings and piles of useless UML diagrams and other documents is indeed just a scam. The most absurd thing of it all is that even in-house development organizations behave the exact same way, despite having the exact opposite incentives.
