Summarize time (in deep retrospect)! S3 the button and @Paul_Nathan there… Except I got a very different overview:
- Software Engineering as paper planning before computer executing, is dead. Engineering as being cleaver or a craftsman, is obviously not what either Jeff or Tom meant. People won’t die if you’re not making medical software in paper before the computer. Just plug the software on people when it’s ready, evidently. It does involve both creativity and correct practice.
- Software development in general terms is about people. Thanks @AlanS
- “Building” an app is a broad enough term that can include it being an art, sure. And code can be beautiful in many different ways. Do google for piet programming.
- Keanu Reeves’s Whoa is virtually in any article opposite to Homer Simpson D’oh. Not a big surprise it ended up with DeMarco. It was bound to happen eventually.
Next topics in the chain of evolution from this general agile thought, from my own lingering memory and non-complete blog reading:
2010 Go That Way, Really Fast
2012 Todon't
2014 Three Things
Maybe the same way I did? From meta discourse. It also brings a great @sam_saffron quote:
One thing I learned working with Jeff is that often the need of complex todo lists and kanban boards is lack of focus and direction.
