I'm thankful for that one-man laughing track. He gets it.

Inspiration = Preparation + Panic

[@MouseGoat]

holy s this man is awesome. Did not expect such a comedic great mind be the reason behind my current study headaches.
I was like oh 40 mins, but that was 40 well spendt great minuts. awesome!

[@TSD0416]

I just started to learn about XP and wanted to know who the mastermind was behind my new headache 🤣🤣I haven't watched the video yet, I thought 40mins is waaaaay too long for my ADHD ass, but your comment convinced me to watch the show. So, thank you kindly. 🙏🙏

About what "water level" metaphor is KB talking in his speak? Does it have to do with overproduction??
Can anybody explain me or give some reference??
I'd appreciate that. :D

[@MarekKalnikMK]

That's a lean metaphor of stock. There is a lake and there are some rocks on the bottom. The water level is your stock level and the rocks are your problems. If you lower the water level, you can see the rocks and pull them out.

Marek Kalnik Great reply

The first 30 minutes is "history", only after that do you get to the essence of "20 years later"

[@RiversJ]

Being a newer programmer that thirty minutes was very useful to me for context and understanding how the things i take for granted actually came about and why.

[@zbalai]

Amazing lecture!
I am in love with eXtreme Programming and although I see the limitations I think it is a great way of developing stuff.
And by the way TDD, user stories, fast iterations and others became "public property" of the development community and we are eternally thankful for it!
PS:
The tie is perfectly developer like: "Beck et al" tie, someone could market it like this ;)

[@BigBugXX]

Is it only me or Kent really looks like Louis C.K.

[@shadyworld1]

Narratives of Agile hype...why it took off and where it went "South"....and extremeFadding was born out of the original amazing track....
jUnit: is a political statement
Xp and TDD: an Improvised frameworks came rapidly out off a need and based in industry experience
Lean: the liberated doctrine and philosophy that was embraced and caught the attention of believers
Kizen: that's the cultural perspective that wester society missed out and would ruin the whole movement later and the lack off commercialized the mindset
Agile Manifesto: a Rebellions Code of Conduct with a high moral and accountability ground
That's why people fascinated about the culture behind SW industry and some Aholes ruined that magnificent efforts be making It a "Religion" and "Preachers" evangilate to "Transform" companies to convert them to follow the belief and Start the "Rituals"...so Rebellion young geniuses had created commercial "Cult" that have nothing to do with thier fine principles...

10:16 “That heroic moment as a programmer ... when you pull order out of chaos” . I love those moments.

[@pkutaj]

I hope that you noticed that according to Kent (and TDD crowd) this is exactly how it is NOT supposed to be.

[@generosonunezarias369]

​@@pkutaj My question to that crowd is why not? The software development is constantly in flux and no one actually seems to know what they are doing. Oftentimes (not all the time) it is a very chaotic process. TDD is just another tool (very limited in many cases) that gives us some structure around this chaos but does not completely eliminate the chaos.

a 2024 update would be nice.
