A new talk, on the Extremity — and the Programmeriness — of Extreme Programming:

original post: https://octodon.social/@schmonz/112435690096723597

Premise: Everyone involved with software teams needs them to pay off.

Claim 1: Compared with other ways to try to ensure ROI, #XP is hardly extreme at all.

Claim 2: XP is therefore for everyone involved with software teams.

original post: https://octodon.social/@schmonz/112434238894485284

What we need from software teams: ROI

How: Give us good choices to make

How:
- Risk intentionality + cost control
- Situational awareness
- Predictability (in some actually useful way)
- Conserve "surprise!" budget for market discoveries

Here's my first new talk in years, grown from one of the seeds @d_stepanovic is always planting.

It's for anyone who cares about software investments yielding returns.

It's called "Not So #ExtremeProgramming":

Joining a team? Want to communicate your intent for shared long-term success? Tell everyone your weaknesses, how you manage them, how and when you'll need help. Think how much information that conveys.

(Including that you feel safe to do so. So if you don't… don't.)

If you've felt #XP's "collective code ownership", you want everyone to have the chance to feel it.

When you've felt it, what are some of the factors that made it possible?

When it's been out of reach, what were some of the obstacles?

@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?

Where #Agile sounds pleasant and inclusive, #ExtremeProgramming… doesn’t. But it’s a differentiator: #XP teams move with uncommon agility. Relevant to non-programmer non-extremists! So how to take advantage?

Containers, being an abstraction, might be situationally cost-effective when we believe that compared to the alternatives they…

- Increase declarative expressiveness
- Reduce cognitive load
- Afford options we want and constrain options we don't want

I sometimes believe that.

@grmpyprogrammer @GeePawHill the first chance to try it is always the hardest to find. It’s a bootstrap problem. You feeling sure about yourself removes one of the obstacles. In my experience, I needed some specific well placed other person to feel sure about me, too. I bet you have some of those.

“It’s a very particular kind of uncomfortable, for a devotee of #ExtremeProgramming, to make a habit of making an effort with no expectation of finding out what good it did or didn’t do.”

So I'm trading consulting for employment: I've joined OpenSesame as an #XP coach.

- arm64
- armv7
- hppa
- i386
- macppc
- sparc

Building 10.0 binary packages for my amd64 VPS, itself soon to be 10.0.

My uptimes are fallen. Worthy sacrifices all.

Good news for #macOS #pkgsrc users:

Updating to the latest Command Line Tools (or Xcode) won't make your builds a total mess! All known regressions in 15.3.0.0.1.1708646388 (or 15.3, build 15E204a) are systemically worked around.

Any trouble, ping me.
