"Anyone who has worked for a true startup knows that the most "agile" form of software development environment is a small group of private sector engineers with a vision and a desire to create a product that will make them all fabulously wealthy. It is only in such an environment that all members of the team work long hours with a common purpose, jumping into the breach to address any and all problems without regard for immediate compensation or consideration of "who's responsibility it is." The private startup company is the only truly "agile" development environment."

Agile != Working long hours. It is also perfectly possible to be 'agile' in small teams within a larger organization.


What is sustainable about a home that you can't cook in?


Living in a hurricane state I've learned that it's possible to cook nearly anything on a grill.


You really only need two burners and an oven to cook most things.


The floorplans appear to indicate a stovetop, among other things.


Agreed


Useless video, I can't read the slides at all.


Brilliant idea. Well done! Change the name because this will be useful throughout the full year.


Great work from a 12 (or did it say 14?) year old.


I saw both. May have started the work when he was 12 and published at 14.


Agreed, cool but ultimately shouldn't be used.


Agreed, but a version that fell open almost instantly and swayed just for a moment would be very cool, and perhaps an improvement on the standard UI. I wonder what other subtle animations might be helpful?


None, if it locks up your computer while animating at a buttery smooth ~2fps.


I disagree.

Depends on the situation.


I agree. for instance: if you hate your users and want to make them suffer, that would be a good situation to use this.


Nope


Good article. Concise. Something I will come back and reference.


despite my disdain for accreditations and certifications, I approve of the content of the exam. It looks like it covers a lot of ground, in a variety of subjects.
