After reading Bob Walsh's description of how Agile techniques can't work for a micro ISV: "If you're going to successfully fire up your micro-ISV, you need to...
Hi, I wondered if these levels might have come from some Agile flavour I am unfamiliar with. Clearly not :-( Adrian ... [Non-text portions of this message...
Hi Tim, Now here's a model for engaging with outsiders: pick someone whom you respect for their work in other areas, but who misunderstands XP. Seems like this...

Ron, ... I still do not get your point... I agree that it may be easier to code in Smalltalk than in C++ (though I don't have much experience with Smalltalk)....
... I can't resist, either. Both statements can easily be simultaneously true. Smalltalk designs are (generally) simpler than C++ designs, and it's possible to...

Joe, ... I don't agree that the example you come up with is not controversial. I admit that it introduces duplication, which is bad, but on the other hand it...
Hi Joe, ... AFAIK, all languages that use interfaces (C++, Java, C# for example) require you to "duplicate" the method declarations in the interface deinition...

Joe, ... My point is that decoupling makes the design simpler, too (at least for me), so decoupling is good. The decoupling of interface and implementation ...

Ron, if you put me in a team of smart people who are striving to deliver high quality software they take pride in and from whom I can learn a lot, and if that...

I suppose it's worth hashing out what we mean exactly by design for this discussion. I get the impression there is a notion, of "I drew these UML diagrams (or...
Well, as they are smart people, and they may define their own way to work, they certainly would define their way to work to not include programming in C++......
