There’s (above) the second episode for the old podcast. It’s the rest of Charles and I talking about Agile, software stuff, all girded by his time at ThoughtWorks. I think there’s some more StarControl sounds too…and dog barking.

[...] This is one of my top 3 dead horses in Agile and Software Development. I’ve labeld the train of thought “The MBA Programmer” and “Good Enough Software Development” both of which are pretty lame, though I like the second. In fact, it’s one of the main topics Charles and I started off the DrunkAndRetired.com podcast with two years ago. [...]
