It’s been 14 years since a group of software developers put their heads together and came up with a manifesto that took the IT world by storm. We asked Agile Manifesto co-author Brian Marick what remains of the original ideas today. I can honestly say it means as much to me as it ever has

It means all the money that was once wasted on failed or delayed software projects is now wasted on consultants and workshops... so you are right: net zero

The funniest part is the graphic in the top right corner, which shows Google auto-suggest results when you type in "agile is".

This public preview gives an early look into many of the capabilities in the release and allows early adopters to get engaged by testing the preview in their environments or via a virtual machine in Microsoft Azure. The greatest database preview (released - so far - today)!

I may want to use the word "blurb" in a conversation - I have a lot of experience of using words that start with "b" in a conversation - so please cease and desist using that word or I may be forced to sue for infringement of a patent on a word that starts with "b".
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Blasphemy! Blurb belongs broadly! Bring battle, Bubbah!

U.S. and Chinese researchers have developed semiconductor chips that are nearly entirely made out of wood-derived material. Gonna go whittle me a new computer!

Now we have more than one type of bug to worry about.

A recently discovered bug in Apple’s mobile OS means that anyone can effectively crash another individual’s iPhone, or send it into Safe Mode if jailbroken, by simply sending a SMS or iMessage containing a specific set of non-Latin characters. Remember: with great power comes great responibility

"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

One of the most common questions we receive is if Microsoft is going to charge for updates to Windows 10. 100% guaranteed. Maybe. Ask again later.

The astronauts on NASA’s Apollo 10 mission in May 1969 paved the way for a pivotal moment in human history, but in the process, introduced an entirely new kind of space exploration mystery. "To boldly go..."
Ah, the romance of space travel

Yagni originally is an acronym that stands for "You Aren't Gonna Need It". It is a mantra from ExtremeProgramming that's often used generally in agile software teams. FWIW

But then when you realize that you actually do need it it'll require a week of refactoring to add it later.
A stitch in time saves nine.

That's "YAPGNI" (You Are Probably Gonna Need It). Of course, some Architect Astronaut would just sprinkle another layer of pattern pixie dust to try making it better. "Just apply a Visitor to the collection of Abstract Factories"
