@davenicolette@mastodon.social The name has surely repelled people who would have taken on the ideas, just as surely as “Agile” has attracted people who didn’t and don’t. There is something of some value we’ve gotten in exchange: when people say they’re Agile we have to doubt, but when people say they’re doing XP we can pretty much believe them. A worthwhile naming tradeoff? Hard to know. As Kent might say, compared to what?
