Today was a classic case of synchronicity. For the fast few days I was quite caught up in the comp.software.extreme-programming
Today I got Joel's mail regarding his latest post (people have started discussing it in the usenet group) which basically pointed out the following:
"I can’t tell you how strongly I believe in Big Design Up Front, which the proponents of Extreme Programming consider anathema. I have consistently saved time and made better products by using BDUF and I’m proud to use it, no matter what the XP fanatics claim. They’re just wrong on this point and I can’t be any clearer than that."
Interesting point - I had hardly mulled this over when a friend wanted to know more about Agile Programming:)
But none of this has anything to do with this post :D
All I started out to say was that after visiting Joel's latest post I visited the links he ad pointed out one of which happened to be the post which is linked in the title of this post. I was reading this post and I happened upon this line:
"The more you write, the more you'll be able to write. If you need to write specs and you can't, start a journal, create a weblog, take a creative writing class, or just write a nice letter to every relative and college roommate you've blown off for the last 4 years."
Whats great about this line??? Well, this was the line which inspired me to start weblogging:)
So at the end of it all this was just a trivial emotional post:)
