I read the book version quite a while ago. From what I remember it was good (with the warning that I usually like Ambler's stuff). It seemed useful, without being rigid and dogmatic.

Of course now is the time that you and others remind me that I'm an idiot Poke tongue | ;-P

I read some of his stuff a while back.
He is generally SO flexible that things end up in places where they don't belong...tables, columns, heads, hands....etc...

So no, *you* are not the idiot in this case....

I must say, that page comes across as a wall of words with a pretty picture of Buzzword Soup at the bottom ("Mmm! Tasty chunks!") I've never read the book, but this sample doesn't bode well.

2. Corollary: The more you complicate process and design to compensate for a lack of expertise, the easier it is to screw up a software project.

My treatise on agile, guaranteed to please some, irk others, and cause drowsiness in the rest. Smile | :)

Simply put, I found it useful to revisit the Agile Manifesto, and describe the points made there in terms of actually accomplishing them in real-world America with efficiency, productivity, and quality.

We are on the side of Right: we will prevail!

Let us march boldly into the battle unafraid, and defeat the forces of Darkness!
We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in Chrome, we shall fight on the Edge and Opera, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the web, we shall defend our website, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight in the browsers, we shall fight on the style sheets, we shall fight in the HTML and in the codebehind, we shall fight in the server; we shall never surrender!^*

Unless it's your father's tea.

Hear, hear!

This is a multi-dimensional truth. Even Havelock Vetinari, The Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, decreed, when setting up a committee of inquiry, that they would never rest, except for statutorily-mandated tea breaks.

No way! I don't like their roast - it's too hard, makes the coffee taste burnt and bitter. And their water is too ... refined and "chemically". Our water comes is very, very soft because we're nearly all granite, with no local limescale - and that really makes a difference to the taste.

Interesting! I have had a couple of people mention to me that Starbucks outside of the USA is not of the same quality as here in the good ole States. I wonder: Is your Starbucks made from pure Arabica beans as it is here, or do they blend it with cheap and nasty Robusta beans? This will be interesting to research, as it will explain the difference. Robusta is very bitter and is often used as a filler in coffee blends to lower cost.

Long live Arabica! Java | [Coffee]

I created a codepen so you can take a look at it:

It needed some top margin because it rendered off-screen so I added that too.

Yeah, I tried it on one of my pages (just using "inspect element" and a bit of dynamic editing) and I am now looking for a excuse to use it somewhere - preferably in a error message! Poke tongue | ;-P
