Quote of the Day – Kent Beck on Responsible Development
Heard on the XP group:
Responsible Development is the style of development I aspire to now. It can be summarized by answering the question, “How would I develop if it was my money?” I’m amazed how many theoretical arguments evaporate when faced with this question.
Responsible Development shares many practices with XP but the roots are different. Responsible Development’s values are honesty, transparency, accountability, and responsibility. These lead me to pairing, test-first, incremental design, continuous integration, and so on because they support the values.
