    I will not even reply to such a troll! I will not tell you how terribly stupid that article is. I refuse to be dragged into this discussion and tell you how confused he is that he says that Agile should be this and should be that, when the true definition of Agile is already a lot of what he is trying to say it ought to be. Nope. I won't even reply. Won't do it.

        I like that most of his suggestions, like "Just ship, then fix based on customer feedback" is pretty much what I understand Agile to be. (Ignoring the invocations of Agile)

              Silliness. Like any tool, the agile development process needs to be used properly in order for it to be effective.  A vacuum cleaner is much better when it comes to removing dust than a spoon.  But please don't use it to stir your coffee. /ravi

                Sure, but that's just Scrum, not all of Agile.

                    The problem with Scrum is that too often it can degenerate into a ruck, or a rolling maul...especially if the only intent is to keep the ball moving. (You must be English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh to understand this post )

                            It's a fill in the blank URL :) There's six letters that have been blanked out. To complete the phrase "Mother******", I have tried: MotherTeresa, that didn't work. MotherNature, no. Motherof-all, no. MotherLode, is too short. There can't be that many. Someone will figure it out...

                              Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
