Getting more ALT…

April 10, 2007

I’ve often struggled with a label for someone like myself who straddles the worlds between Microsoft and agile but apparently that’s been taken care of now. There are several out there currently who understand this, many of whom I look up to and respect but, by in large, it’s not the norm – yet. Granted, I understand that not everyone is an overachieving nut-job like myself but when there’s a better way, why not use it?? Especially, when the open source tools are so much more mature.

To mangle a Jeff Foxworthy joke – “If you can name the open source tool that Microsoft based theirs on, you might be ALT.NET.”


Agile At a Distance…

August 29, 2006

Since we don’t follow agile methodologies here at work (yet!) and we’re not really distributed, I’ve not had a chance to use CardMeeting but I’ve VERY interested to see what others have to say about it. Yeah, I know it’s not as much “fun” as REAL cards that you can do a little dance over, shred, bite, spit on, make into little hats…uh, digressing…anyway check out the sandbox and give your scroll-wheel a little spin – definitely cool. Drop me a card… (pw:alwaysbecoding).

Agile In A Box…

Ok, so you still need to know how to develop but Buildix is as close as you can get to a whole development setup in a box. Man, I love those guys at Thoughtworks.

Ran across this post and had to preserve it for later reference. I wonder if I could get a T-Shirt made…
