    Bullocks, they are a group of crazy pseudofeminist twats. Sure, women are less present in IT/CS. But it's not because of the work culture but it's caused by the involuntary indoctrination started even before preschool. That indoctrination is pernicious as it is accomplished by innocent looking thing such as as giving dolls instead of Lego sets....

    However John Lennon was not dupe , John on acid and bad trip:

    It got like that, but then I stopped it for I don't know how long, and then I started taking it again just before I met Yoko. I got the message that I should destroy my ego, and I did, you know. I was slowly putting myself together round about Maharishi time. Bit by bit over a two-year period, I had destroyed me ego. I didn't believe I could do anything. I just was nothing. I was shit. Then Derek [Taylor, Apple press officer] tripped me out at his house after he got back from L.A. He sort of said, ``You're all right,'' and pointed out which songs I had written: ``You wrote this,'' and ``You said this,'' and ``You are intelligent, don't be frightened.'' The next week I went to Derek's with Yoko, and we tripped again, and she made me realize that I was me and that it's all right.

    Right out of my mouth. You're NOT DOING AGILE if you have to integrate components at the end.

    Amen!

    Developers need continuous integration everywhere so that not one of them will want anything to do with extreme, agile, small-pox, waterfall or whatever.

    When nightlies are build nightly, when code is statically analyzed on commit, when the staging system is restaged when a release branches is patched, when deploying an application from staging to production requires only one command and a dev regularly meet with the client to ensure that the delta between what you are to building and what the client needs is not too big.

    WRITE THOSE F*CKING UNIT TESTS!

    Here we design for testability but only test critical stuff and wrote test case when something break down as our metrics told us that our unit test were worthless as they did not exercise code that broke or when the broken code was executed, the test was as broken as the code. Not that the code or the test were generally bad it's just that our bugs are usually at the multisystems interaction level, especially so when the mainframe is involved... Mocking up everything is not an option as experience thought me that you get twice the code base and that as a tremendous effect on maintenance cost and development time.

    The software industry is stagnated, that's why we don't use the entire capacity of out computers.

    Oh, we could max something a few magnitude stronger than what we have; I was assisting a presentation on the use of "NDA" to generate a non threatening response from the enemy in a maritime war situation and the best algorithm presented chocked after nda steps on a PC and after nda+3 on a SGI machine.

    The problem is that state of the art semi-symbolic AI algorithm are at least in the exponential complexity class for both time and memory. Also every time you make them more generalized (i.e. more intelligent) you usually add at least 1 to an exponent somewhere in the algebraical term representing that complexity class. You get to reduce complexity by making them less generalized by hard-coding expert knowledge into the system but it has it's limits. Take the Rete*1 , the solver use by Drools, it has a complexity of O(RF^P) | R=#Rules & F=#Facts & P=#Patterns/#Rules in the first pass and drop asymptotically to O(R*F*P) during execution, the rapidity of the drop depend on the stability of the facts base and of the similitude of the queries.

    So software wise we are at a weird place, we know how to make more intelligent software but we do not have the material to use those algorithms on anything else then toy examples like blocks world. Or on enormous machine using a limited set of patterns*2.
