A#*h^le driven development

"The software industry might be the world’s greatest breeding ground for new systems of management. From Agile, to Extreme Programming , to Test Driven Development (TDD), the acronyms and frameworks keep piling up. Why?

Some say it’s immaturity: that software is still a young industry and all the change is the path to some true fundamentals. Others say it’s because software people like making things up and can’t help themselves. Well I say this: if we’re going to have dozens of models we may as well have some that are honest, however cynical, to what’s really going on much of the time..."

With terms like "Get Me Promoted Methodology (GMPM)" and "Development By Denial (DBD)" this makes for a funny read.

Don't forget to check out some great additions in the comments...
