Many years ago (1999), long before the age of blogs, I was asked to write a column for an online e-zine called Hello World. Although the magazine never survived more than a few pilot issues, I was pleasantly surprised, while doing a google search, to find my articles still hanging around. I’ve always been meaning to resurrect my column, and I think that now, during the age of blogs, is possibly the right time.
Though a bit dated, I have provided links to the old articles for continuity sake.
- Developing Rapids: Effective examples of how to drown your software development schedules
- Developing Waterfalls: How to Effectively Drown Your Software Schedules
- Developing in Thin Air: How to Effectively Drown Your Software Schedules
By the way, in case you are wondering where the name “Developing Rapids” comes from, it is a play on the late 90s cliche “Rapid Development”. It is also the title of my first article.
