Rockford Lhotka (the creator of CSLA, and author of Expert Business Objects) has posted another follow-up to Steve Yegge’s post from yesterday:
See that’s the thing. Formalize a set of practices into a Methodology and the practices lose their meaning. Each practice in Agile really is good – in a specific place and for a specific purpose. But when wrapped in a Methodology they become “good at all times and in all places” – at least to most practitioners.
Rocky puts it into words so much better than I could.
