Since employment is almost always at-will, how is this any different from an employer hiring someone full time and laying them off after 3 months? It short enough so you wouldn't qualify for unemployment in most (all?) states.

I think DHH (and a lot of people) miss out on a lot of modestly growing startups that are doing relatively boring things because they don't hear about them. It's not that they don't exist. They just don't hear about them

> Agile processes are either bent or ignored whenever it seems appropriate. There is a lack of process discipline. This one I don't understand. Isn't it sort of the antithesis of the first core principle of the Agile manifesto?
