Manifesto for Agile Software Development

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right,

we value the items on the left more.

As in “How’s the job going, doing, coming, etc?”.

You mean what I have just lately come to call my “day job”.  I work for a company in Houston, but I just go up the river a ways to do that, at a location I’d like to keep vague.  I understand they miss me there, I have been on a health leave for several weeks.  On Monday I will return to work, at least I think so, and then I am told the position will not be funded in 2011 so it ends Dec 31st 2010, five and a half months work, maybe six with a notice at the end.

So I will be happy to go back to work there until the end of the year, and I will use my spare time to work on growing my side business, Terrific.IT LLC , such that it will support three couples or six adults and their children to come starting at New Years Day 2011.

Best regards,

David W.
