God damn, Zed. You sure jump to conclusions that people are going to fight with you! Not that you remember it we've met twice and had perfectly normal conversations.
No, I agree, dammit! So take that!
Although I can see where you may have misread my honest question as rhetoric to indicate conflict. That was, as I said, an honest question--though perhaps missing a few words. I was inquiring whether the "agile" consultants you've known start coding on a new project from day one of the project indicating that, in those cases, they aren't taking much time at allfor research or planning.
Agile is a broad label that doesn't make a lot of sense. I've been in the biz 16 years. If there's anything that I preach it's "it depends" and "YMMV". Please don't assume we're all out to get you or that we all believe that we know better than everyone else.
