(This post is from my old, old, super old site. My views have changed over the years, hopefully my writing has improved, and there is now more than a handful of folks reading my site. Enjoy.)
I've seen a bunch of good quotes on slashdot today-
"Engineering is a discipline, XP is just glorified hacking, only by becomming disciplined will software improve."
"There is no silver bullet, never will be. Logic requires careful thought, and careful thought requires time."
"We're stuck in a sea of IT dreck that's concealing actual good ideas. New products, endless upgrades, marketing schemes, propaganda, FUD, evangelism, poor releases, confusing releases, and much more. What good tools and improvements in programming are out there, I feel, are concealed by the less-than good and utterly terrible tools, concepts, and techniques that exist."
