          It’s hard to fix something because it’s easy to break something else?

          That’s your clue: refactor first.

          (Special case of the general KFB wisdom “First make the change easy, then make the easy change.”)

            Periodic reminder: if you’re intrigued by a job posting touting , maybe it’s what it claims to be. I hope so. But maybe not.

            Hit up your network before applying. If you’re reading this, I’m in your network.

              If doesn’t believe neurospicy folks can strengthen a team, they’re simply wrong. Maybe they’ll learn.

              But if a supposed expert doesn’t grok this, such remarkably deep failure of understanding indicates ignorance AND profound obstinacy.

                If you don’t know how to care for people and don’t care to learn, by definition — no matter how convincingly you write, speak, and code — you are not an expert. And when you take a power position and try to enact XP among humans, we can see you’re a charlatan.

                  Most practical experts don’t write a book. Distinct tasks, incentives, skills.

                  For the same reasons, some published authors are better at describing than at enacting.

                  Maybe an author really knows, in context, under stress, how to do the thing. Maybe not.

                      Hate and want others to hate it?

                      1. Become Director of Engineering

                      2. Tell org and stakeholders that XP will fix longstanding problems

                      3. Regularly interfere with devs’ learning

                      4. Design projects to delay ROI

                      5. Find scapegoats

                      Maybe they’ll blame .

                        If you love and you see a rare opportunity to be hired specifically for that, you might jump at the chance. I do. I did.

                        Maybe in your case it’ll be what it sounds like. I hope so. But beware. https://schmonz.com/snac/schmonz/p/1757721641.814818
