Back then, the entire MSDN library fit on a single CD. They would send quarterly updates through the mail. In the days before Google, it was a resource that I depended on, along with whatever books I bought on my own.

While I think this is true for the most part, it also largely depends on your line of work. My software runs machines that produce a LOT of product every day. I hear about nearly every hiccup it has because it costs the company money and that is very consequential to a lot of people and their wallets. Me included.

Yeah that makes sense. It was more of a general point, I think there is still some areas where software needs to be perfect, such as financial and medical etc. just because the liability of error is too great.

Yes, SW for those areas is quite a bit different than website code.

I agree - that's why I use a VS Spell Check addin: Visual Studio Spell Checker[^] for VS2019, and Spell Checker - Visual Studio Marketplace[^] for earlier version.
It checks and "red lines" spelling mistakes in comments, strings, ... everything but variables!

Which is a work ethic, not methodology.
These methodologies are NOT SUPPOSED to have anything to do with a person's work ethic. Work ethic is out of scope to any methodology.
You are either diligent in your work, or not.

I don't entirely agree. It seems to me the success of any methodology depends entirely on the work ethic of the participants. If they have none then failure is unavoidable.

we are not discussing the "success" of anything here. we are discussing which methodologies you use, per the original Poll.
Marc is cross pollinating work ethic with a methodology.
being successful and have a good work ethic has nothing to do with which methodologies a person uses.

And my apologies as well - rereading this a day later I have to say that my response was a bit dickish.

Exactly. And I contend that we don't need methodologies, we need better work ethics.

you need both. you need good methodologies that work for you and your team, and you need team members with a strong work ethic.
both, together, is what makes it work "great". most shops/teams never realize this type of nirvana.
my previous argument was that they are independent of each other on their own merit and definition. you have to combine them together, to make the magic work.

Any company, or person, who has "we/I are/am passionate about <insert relevant item here>", is not. If they really were, then it would show in the quality of their products and they would not need to crow about it. It is almost as stupid as the recorded message you hear while waiting to connect to customer services, which repeatedly says, "your call is important to us".
