peripatetic axiom: 12/27/2009 - 01/03/2010
http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2009_12_27_archive.html
Software, systems and management thereof. I'm tossing this idea out into the world. It's half-formed and I'm learning as I go along. It may be invalid, it may be old news, it may not. What I'm hoping for is that someone who knows more about at least one of testing and Bayesian inference than I do will come and set me straight. In addition, a bunch of folks kindly came along to an open space session. At Xp Day London. This year. Here is the commentary of one. You may have read. An elephant in the room.

peripatetic axiom: 03/21/2010 - 03/28/2010
http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2010_03_21_archive.html
Software, systems and management thereof. I wish that the people in the software industry who bang on about a need for "software engineering" showed more evidence of ever having met an engineer. The latest run at it, SEMAT. Seems to be making the same old mistakes all over again. Definitions, theory, universals? Are these really the things that the software industry is lacking? Similarly, the presence of a spring bow compass in the SEMAT logo worries me. The 60's effort at SE also confused the contin...

peripatetic axiom: No More Than Two
http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2010/10/no-more-than-two.html
Software, systems and management thereof. No More Than Two. London’s “convenience” stores are replacing staffed checkouts with self-service robots. Some of these offer lessons in user interface design painful to behold. I watched with interest as my co-emptor pondered this. And then she did the only reasonable thing: she went and got a second pack. After all, it does say you may only. Quite what anyone is supposed to make of the yes/no buttons following a statement not a question I don't know. Measure th...

peripatetic axiom: fixed-length iterations: a transitional practice
http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2010/05/fixed-length-iterations-transitional.html
Software, systems and management thereof. Fixed-length iterations: a transitional practice. I find it had to think of a development practice that isn't almost certainly a transitional practice. Configuration management, maybe. Anyway, Scrum, XP, and all the rest I've come to understand as each a record of a reaction against some bad condition, with transitional practices to get a team away form that condition to a better one. Fo example, as Michael Feathers says in this post. I haven’t tried it wit...

peripatetic axiom: Agile Charlatans
http://peripateticaxiom.blogspot.com/2011/07/agile-charlatans.html
Software, systems and management thereof. At the 2011 UK Agile Coaches Gathering. Last week I convened a session which was prompted by comments like this one. From reddit user grauenwolf. I used to think people like you were quacks, but now I see that there are teams that really need your services. How might we do less of the former and more of the latter? The output is captured here:. The "Agile Charlatan" Problem. A photo by Keith Braithwaite. It needs some explanation, though. Yes, that is quite cynic...

A Software Practitioner Still Practising: Carbon - the EU's chance to shine
http://aspsp.blogspot.com/2014/01/carbon-eus-chance-to-shine.html
A Software Practitioner Still Practising. Maybe, but I need lots of it. Friday, 17 January 2014. Carbon - the EU's chance to shine. I am really concerned that we may be causing irreversible and harmful climate change. While there is no conclusive proof that humankind is behind global warming, the evidence against us is stacking up more and more heavily. Avaaz is publishing an ad in the key Brussels paper today calling on Barroso to follow the science. If supported by tens of thousands of e-mail messa...
