TDD and agile in general requires discipline. You can't expect somebody to drive a car if they don't even know what a gas pedal is.

- Spearchucker 12y agoNot doing TDD and waterfall in general requires discipline.
- Nursie 12y agoSoftware development requires discipline :) I've seen it said here before - you can't expect a mediocre team to become world class by forcing them into a set of methodologies, you'll just get people who are mediocre at doing it that way too.
- rondon2 12y agoWhat is required is shades of grey. Here is a simple example. Lets say our team's methodology includes documenting code changes. Some commits should require API Documentation updates, e-mails to the entire team, an entire separate document about the changes. Other commits may only need a short comment like "removed extra whitespace"
- lmm 12y agoFallacy of the grey. Yes, a good team will be better than a bad team for any reasonable methodology. That doesn't mean there aren't methodologies that are better than others.
- Nursie 12y agoI don't disagree, but I don't think that becoming more Agile* is necessarily always a very good methodology. *(capital A, for what it has become at the hands of process consultants rather than what was intended originally)
