I'm still unsure what part of any of this situation encourages you to keep saying that people who do test-first development or who have daily fifteen-minute status meetings are absolutely and definitely replaceable cogs who can't develop code and need to "code by numbers". That seems like one hell of an unsupported claim. Um; I never mentioned (anywhere in this thread) test-first development.
I obviously don't know how things go in every company; so I can only talk generically; and as I'm trying to make supporting argument for a position; it is natural that I will tend to the extreme that support that position. Its neither personal nor accusatory. And remember; I've nothing to gain or lose by what you or others do. Especially if they choose to do things that work for them. But the single most frustrating thing as an "old timer" is watching younger generations making the same damn mistakes I made; and doing so willingly and enthusiastically. If my posts in this thread have caused any one young guy or girl to step back and consider their work situation with a broader, more skeptical eye; they've been worth my effort. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
