[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So-called "Agile" is a mess in our experience. It was clever marketing and an attempt to claim that process is more important than hiring people with strong design & coding skills.

Our experience is that lightweight good processes (i.e., not the mess called Agile) can help great programmers perform more effectively, but there are no magic processes which will enable marginal programmers to perform visibly better. [/quote]

It’s kind of shocking to me that someone who works in software can be this ignorant of major trends on software development since the 1990s.  Have you heard of the Agile manifesto?  Extreme programming?  The whole clean code/software craftsmanship movement?  Uncle Bob?

I hate to tell you this, but there’s a whole world of highly skilled, highly compensated experts writing the best applications in the world who live and die by (real) agile.

[b]Do you have a CS degree?  Did they not cover all this? [/b][/quote]

:shock:

I am at aloss for words.  Not just the bolded part, but the whole thing. [/quote]
