Perfectly calm. Just eating my popcorn and watching the downvotes on Hacker Reddit. The same people down voting each comment rather than apply discretion shrug

You are correct, it's just that we wrote down those behaviours and practices used by successful teams and they became the agile values. It's not self-fulfilling. It's fulfilling. T…

That's a fair challenge and I can accept I might be over-effusive in my praise.

I am not blindly following it. I think it is sound practical advice given by a titan of engineering. I have yet to read anything of yours which says why I shouldn't listen to Kent …

I simply searched for the people you referenced and the word Agile. I had no idea your blog would be ranking first page for anti-agile rants. You find it creepy that you list your …

I was intrigued by your references to those individuals specifically so I did a quick Google and found your fire and brimstone blog post where you reference Carmack and Sweeney lib…

You understand Booch did not write the master programming list referenced by the OP. (No doubt you will edit to remove that erroneous reference but shrug ) Saying Kent Beck, Ken Sc…

Not borderline stalker; was just interested in your experience. Was hoping you would blow me away with cutting edge engineering you speak about. shrug Agile vendors don't tell you …

EDIT: Just reviewed your Twitter. It's 2000 tweets of snark and criticism of everything you come across - GoT, other coders, Agile, politics. I doubt we will get anywhere construct…

All spoken brilliantly as someone who has not seen the nuance beyond the post. The Facebook note was written by Kent Beck, father of eXtreme Programming (XP) and original Agile man…

The average IT hire for a permanent role costs nearly $8,000.* This includes the use of temp workers, recruitment fees and management time. If lost productivity is included the fig…

Space is only at a premium because it costs more to have more space. The real question is "how much space are you willing to sacrifice for energy self-sufficiency?" In the UK, elec…

This is one of the most optimistic and best things I have read in weeks. +1

Insightful observation. The quality of the network is eroded by non-human automation.

Elaborate please. Why is it different?

Great looking landing page, the clarity on the images is particularly good and and it loaded super-fast here in the UK. The service looks really good too. Good luck gaining tractio…

But not in this case, the first thing that came to mind was a sufficient rebuttal. Since you are constantly referencing the legal system you should remember it is the prosecutors r…

...and yet soldiers in WW1 and WW2 were subjected to stressful situations lasting years, some of which manifested in mental trauma but many of which actually behaved in the manner …
