Your OWN system is not a system. It&#39;s just common sense. Or what works for you. Good. Works for you.<br /><br />I&#39;m one of those guys who is not sold on any acronym. Much less SOLID, AGILE, or FORBALSNIGDORF, or whatever mix of Common Sense and Nonsense they come up with next and try to sell me. Whatever it is, it will have a manifesto, and a book, and conferences.<br /><br />I am a GitRDun pragmatist when I need to be, and a designer with a strict Waterfall sensibility when I need to be. I am what I need to be to get the results I need. I like to think that my method resembles the Oracle&#39;s method in the Matrix; What was said (or done) was what had to be said or done, to Get It Done, but Done Right. And if not the first or the second time, then done when we can get it done.<br /><br />Everything else is a sales pitch for nailing jello to a tree.<br /><br />If we are good enough, we survive. If not, then the market can, should, and will kill our business. And that is as it should be.<br /><br />Unless you&#39;re the Canadian government software contractor working on the weapons registry. Then you can spend a billion, and go get a billion more, whenever you need it. Look, we have blobby-grams. We have user stories. <br /><br />Whaddya mean we&#39;re not done? We&#39;re agile, I tell you, Agile.<br /><br /><br />WarrenWarrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04053407632823479165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10106032.post-62988604207118002632009-07-14T21:51:05.645+01:002009-07-14T21:51:05.645+01:00I agree completely. <br /><br />Whatever your views on Jeff &amp; Joel, they&#39;ve become pariahs in that particular post. <br /><br />Instead, what they appear to have stirred up there is the equivalent of the militant wing in any political party who believe in simply Black / White or True / False and refute anything that isn&#39;t their own PoV or lies in between.<br /><br />If only the world could be that simple...jamiehttp://jamiei.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
