Gatillos

Wow it’s been a month since last comic. I apologize… my list of comic ideas is overflowing so the only problem here is my laziness (ok and finishing a product that took forever). You could actually like the facebook page to get updates.

Anyhow, there you have it. Every now and then I see this: good programmers, good coders, designers, testers, they are all too busy to sit down and define ‘guidelines’. They do manage to transmit them to each other so the structure kind of works.

That nagging voice in the back of your mind that you so clearly can hear when your experts are giving a talk? Listen to it.

I don’t see anything wrong with this behaviour.

I’m scared to find out just how much of this is actually true.

I think that ‘Eagles don’t flock’ is an example of hypocatastasis and not a metaphor. I thought I should mention it, because you were most probably thinking the same.

Also, all I know about art school life comes from Daniel Clowes comics.

The funniest thing is that all those are words I hear almost every day. It all started with a cool idea that developers (that is, people that do programming), came up with a decade or so ago. At its root, it was a way to have managers understand that computer science had become anything but a science or even engineering. It had become clear by then that the current development practices, largely based on proper engineering, with detailed specifications and plans, were getting more and more cumbersome. So a new, leaner method was defined. Someone called it Extreme Programming, and all was good.
