Machines are predictable, people are not

 

I suppose we would all agree with that and that's why smart people try to develop processes to make us more predictable. On the other hand nobody likes being constrained by anything and especially a process. Some people call this kind of lack of structure freedom, some call it chaos :). From my experience a bit of process might actually help a lot whereas a complete lack of it leads sooner or later to a disaster. Scrum is one of the approaches that let people develop software in a predictable way and that's the topic of the next MTUG event (29th April) that I'm not going to miss. See you there.

A great .NET architect - Udi Dahan - is waiting for our invitation

I hope Philip or Clare or one of the other guys who run MTUG will be able to invite for free (via INETA) Udi Dahan. I've been reading his blog for over a year and I have to admit that this guy is just brilliant. All he is interested in is architecture that is technology agnostic. It's really something unique these days when so many people rush to use the latest technology because they think it will automagically solve their problems which we all know is not true :).
