So instead of billions of solar systems like ours, there are just millions. And in at least thousands of those millions, there is probably some poor shmuck like myself posting from their parents basement!
It doesn't solve every problem but it can darn well replace the old waterfall development practice which is/was used for pretty much every project.
If agile works for making AAAA games as well as a wide variety of projects involved in game development, HR systems, IT, finance, etc...why wouldn't it work for your projects?
Why do I keep seeing the notion that agile speeds up coding? That is simply not true! All it does is releases certain features sooner so the client can approve of them instead of releasing everything at the end and having an "oh shit, he changed his mind" moment when it's too late.
As for the documentation aspect, we had several tasks in our iterations to document code, use cases, etc. The team lead or project manager usually took care of obtaining the specs from the clients and writing the documentation for it.
Well you are doing it wrong. In my experience (I worked in one of the top 3 video game companies in the world) it worked like it claims to do. A different team member was the scrum master every week, assured that the daily meetings were short and concise. We had our iteration planning done properly and our death mortem meetings at the end of each iteration to discuss improvements and fails. Once your team gets into the groove, your team velocity is calculable and improvable...maybe you guys were just lazy?
All agile does is to make the client more involved in the shorten development cycle, the work more accountable (as in changes and implementations are done earlier), and the team members better team players.
Agile has nothing to do with workplace problems.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S1 and a HTC Windows Phone (bought around the same time 3 years ago give or take). To be fair my android phone is riddled with reboots, performance issues and such while my windows phone is as snappy as ever. I do use my android more every day but my WP7 is where I code on, develop apps and push it to its limits more.
So god was toying when he gave the earth initial spin since he knew he was going to create the sun later. That is how for 2 days the earth had artificial light from him thus creating day (and the spin of the earth creating night)?
Ah I see, got it!
Since I don't have the time or money to go there (not American either), I\ll split 50/50 with anyone that wants to present the following proof (beyond the light problem):
Earth created two days (or two time periods) before the sun presents numerous physical and geological problems. Let's list a few of the top of my head:
No heat
No seasons
No weather patterns
No tides (along with moon)
No solar system (planets would fly away)
Earth would slow down and stop (no spin)
No moon (it would fly away)
No gravitational effect from the sun causing many problems
Wrong. By exercising one can lower their heart rate. Around 72 is generally considered the number of beats per minute. From daily exercise I lowered mine to low 50s bpm. What is the difference of the number of beats a year for example between both resting heart rates? Around 11 037 600 beats, looks quite staggering.
Really? So the entire point about smart phones at work (ie 9 to 5) and your response is that schools are less violent today because of said smart phones? Hmmm, you'll have to explain why and how a cell phone and a land line at work (your work phone) are different and save children.
Because of texts, kids today and some adults have no attention spans and expect replies and everything now. Now, now, now. Not all technology advancements are beneficial. But before anyone cherry-picks my response, it isn't my original point. Do you get paid to go on Facebook using your smart phone at work, check your emails or text or do you get paid to work? I enjoy being disconnected from everything once in a while, maybe you should try that freedom too. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm waiting impatiently for the Galaxy S4 to come out!
Really? I have many friends that don't have cell phones and/or smart phones. I would say their world is the same. Should I go out and buy them smart phones since they are now living in the dark ages?
What happened to giving them your work place number like you know, your parents did? Children were just as safe before smart phones...
not to mention the tools with which we coordinate the rest of our lives
I don't agree with this at all. 10+ years ago we didn't use smart phones and we coordinated the rest of our lives just fine.
The problems are solvable and worth solving. That management favors solutions that are simply a matter of writing policy, is in their nature, so don't sit in the dark and bitch, fix the bulb.
I think management just wants you to do your job and not have you sit there browsing facebook on your phone, texting your friends or calling for appointments while you are getting paid.
Trim them with a razor, just like if you were trimming a beard.
All in all, I just typed this in 38 words per minute. (or in the typing world of 5 letters or more: 9 words per minute).
Let us imagine for a moment we are all cannibals where half the population eats properly and the other half eats what is proposed here. We are going to have two distinct population samples, one of lean, fit and healthy individuals and one of fat, potentially sickly and unhealthy individuals.
Now whom would you rather eat to stay healthy and generally live better and longer? Food for thought...
This food proposal can't be good in the long run.

Since when is code review part of agile?

The trick is how he created the earth without spin...his light must have rotated around the earth to create night.

So who wants to present this to the judge? :)
They don't make great products, though
Visual Studio is a great product and has been for a while now.

Hehe, that was like three versions ago.

Maybe you should point out the patent numbers so we can verify your claim chucked from left field.
Finally found the bones of John Carter.
I would probably briefly mention this incredibly important aspect of source/version control, strange that I haven't seen anyone mention it.
