The humble... NO!

Speaking of religion, it feels like ages since I last commented on agile development; XP Day 2005 probably put me off it. Chris Preston, however, recently made a notable post: Spades and shovels.

In it, he rails against the proliferation of repackaging coming from the agile community. It troubles me just as much as it does Chris. I’m even seeing irritating jargon coming through from some of my best friends. Now, I know that Gav has a heart of gold and is generally just full of beans, but when I see someone rebranding a common-sense request for help as a Humble Yo, something somewhere is rotten.

Chris: good post. It needed saying. Gav: sorry, mate. I hope you can forgive me. You know I still respect you. :)


Comments:
'Humble Yo' sounds like something a Lean Management consultant would make up..
 
Funny you should say that...
 
For those of us who weren't there, could you possibly summarise XP Day 2005 and why it might have put you off?
 
Yes. Yes I could.
