Technical stuff Requirements are like water. They're easier to build on when they're frozen.

I like this guy, I’ve never seen him before (even though he’s a member of the GoF), he has a funny accent and uses it to tell us how Eclipse development has evolved over the years. As many of us use Eclipse as a base of our development (or derivates, like Aptana), I think it might be interesting for you to take a look at this and their retrospective helps us focus on the right things.

It’s always a good way of learning and improving yourself by looking at how others do it, take and adapt those things that make it better for you. I particularly liked the phrase “more democratic than scrum”, I wouldn’t have imagined such a thing is possible.

Ah, and let’s not forget the “let me fix it by commenting the assertion, this will make our build green”.
