2019-10-31 Thursday - "Rabid Agile" (tm)

I had an opportunity to cite this today - in a client meeting, while discussing how I've defined proponents of "Rabid Agile" (tm) - that promote the idea that there is no need to document the design of the software to be built (or, draw diagrams) - and who claim the source code is the design. 

Meeks Software Architecture Conjecture #1:

"The source code may (or may not) be a full implementation of the desired capability needed by the business - but is more likely just an approximation (constrained by permitted time, allocated budget, and available skills/talent of the team involved). Therefore it should not be confused with the actual or desired (or envisioned) design - that may require multiple years to achieve - of which the current source code may only reflect a partial (and incomplete, or inaccurate) representation."
