[DrunkAndRetired.com Podcast] Episode 02: The Life Agile, Part 2
(Click here to download/listen to the podcast.)
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.
You know you’ve been hittin’ reload on this page just waiting for this second episode!

Surprisingly entertaining. I really enjoyed the accounts from ThoughtWorks. I got a brief taste of the custom software consulting world when I was at OSI.
I got out as quickly as I could and I told myself I would retire from the industry before doing anything like that again (although I have done some integration work for some banks). I think most good software developers do the same.
Also I get very nervous when anybody has a dogma about any methodology whether it is Agile, XP, or whatever.
BTW, how many condoms were used in the US last night?

Baus: Thanks for the compliment. I’m glad you it was entertaining ;> Unfortunitly, I don’t know how many used condoms there are every night in the US. Consequently, I don’t couldn’t get through the interview process at MSFT.
Ed: I’m glad you liked it too! Thanks!

[…] 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. […]
