[DM-dev] extreme programming

[Stephan B. <st...@ei...>]

okay, okay! I've broken down! I'm gonna do it!
I was reading last night in the book "Extreme Programming Explained" and came 
across this paragraph, which I almost thought that Pete had written:

Simplicity is not easy. It is the hardest thing in the world not to look 
toward the things you'll need to implement tomorrow and next week and next 
month. But compulsively thinking ahead is listening to the fear of the 
exponential cost of change curve. Sometimes the coach has to gently remind 
the team that they are listening to their fears, "Maybe you're so much 
smarter than I am that you can make all this complicated dynamically 
balancing tree stuff work. I would naively assume a linear search would work."
-- Kent Beck
