A Busy Developer's Guide to WSDL 1.1, Part II. 4:36:58 PM    comment

Mark (talking about Joel's piece from yesterday): "I had a manager like this at my last job; he was totally convinced that Extreme Programming meant we could all just just in and start coding, like he always wanted to but had been taught not to. He was a cowboy coder at heart. And Joel's right; that's not what XP is all about, but those nuances get lost in translation somewhere." [I don't think they get lost. they're ignored by those who wish to be "cowboys". They seem to be the only people who interpret XP this way. Seems like that's a lot of folks? Exactly correct.] * 4:12:51 PM    comment
