| Cutting with the Grain: The Rhythms of
Design |
April, 2005 |
| As a result of Kent Beck's "Programming
Intensive" workshop, Kent, Joseph Leddy, and I created a paper on
one small aspect of design. |
From the abstract:
One way to make software development more valuable is to spend
as much time as possible going "with the grain." Programming
languages, personal style, and team dynamics all create some paths
in which development flows smoothly. They also create other paths
which are bumpy and potholed. This paper describes how you can
identify which kind of path you are on and what you can do when you
find yourself on a bumpy path.
