The thing that makes me most wary about XP is its origins. They developed XP practices while working on the Chrysler Corporation Compensation System, which was eventually scrapped in an unfinished state after 5 years.
However, XP is touted to be a system of practices to enable people to get software created on time and under budget that is more adaptable. The skeptic in me just screams, "But your first big test case failed on all those accounts. How can you recommend these practices when, in practice, they didn't work?"
Also: The 48 Laws of Power read more like the 48 Laws of Douchebaggery.
- baltoo 17y agoI was under the impression that while C3 wasn't finished when the project was terminated it was used productively after only two years. Also, it the project replaced one that had tried to make something work for even longer, without producing anything working at all. Also, I remember it that Kent Beck thought the projects ending had nothing to do with the performance of it.
- bena 17y agoThe success or failure of C3 is a contentious point. However, I'm also wary of the testimony from people who have a stake in XP being successful rather than C3 being successful. http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WasChryslerComprehensiveCompensationSuccess http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WasChryslerComprehensiveCompensationS... http://calla.ics.uci.edu/histories/ccc/ http://calla.ics.uci.edu/histories/ccc/
