If you don't grok the domain you risk writing irrelevant software. Love your craft, talk to (drink beer with) your customer, write software that people love.

In 1999, a little book by @KentBeck started explaining Extreme Programming (XP) to the masses. 23 years later, it's still true to every word. But we, the developers, chose to ignore half of its learnings. In this thread 🧵I'll fix that for you. 👇👇👇

It's too bad that companies focus so much on Agile management and not Agile engineering. Being successful at iteration is highly dependent on incremental engineering skills, like TDD. You need both, though the management gets a lot easier when supported by iterative engineering.

The crazy thing about #lean teams is that they thrive on instability, yet are expected to produce at a high standard. #craftsmanship
