"Leffingwell's Hammer" : any idea of merit, regardless of the intentions or awareness of the inventor, will inevitably and irrecoverably be reduced to a harmful but commercially viable form of the senior executives existing conception and practices.

I am once again asking you to stop writing user stories without including the "so that I can..." part at the end.

It’s strange to me that in all the conversation about developer productivity, I rarely see people talk about the cost of turnover. There is loss of time and money and a strain on morale due to interviewing, onboarding, instability, and the shift of group dynamics.

If you struggle to manage internal software development you have little hope of managing outsourced development.

“We need help getting our people to comply with the standard agile mythology.” Nothing after “we need help” makes sense in this sentence. If you think it sounds fine, maybe we could talk about why.

Another day, another article from a well-meaning training provider and consultancy that describes #ITIL4 as a “standard” that organisations “comply with”. – at London, England

Young dev, no need to feel down young dev, pick yourself off the ground young dev, 'you're new in town' There's no need to be unhappy It's fun to play with the YAML It's fun to play with the YAML Can't keep it clean, if you print it it's reams, it's a nightmare and not a dream

Consumer apps become successful through addiction. In 20 years we will think of this like smoking.

Many look at a large working system and think it was designed that way. However, in the vast majority of cases systems evolved to be large by starting small. This is true for SW development, as well as big cities. Start small, evolve and iterate quickly #NoEstimates #Agile

Edsger W. Dijkstra: “My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as “lines produced” but as “lines spent”: the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger.”
