“ That the message of the XP and Agile community was once “professional programming is about the programmers and customers stupid” was what gave the movement teeth, and ever since then, the community has been trying to soften that blow, include all the specialist roles from CEO to janitor so that no one feels left out, or that their political interests aren’t being served. The resultant watered-down drivel has resulted in Agile becoming synonymous with ‘good’ moved ‘development practices’ into a footnote in some Agile systems (I talking to you Ken Schwaber and the Scrum folks) and once again made software development about non-technical goals and practices. To once again quote Mister Stephenson I call bullshytt.
