I have to admit that in a very twisted way I should really thank Steve Yegge, because he has basically set me free. I really do feel free now. His (in)famous blog about good agile vs bad agile has definitely opened my mind.
Well, if you know me you may probably think that I'm just a sarcastic bastard, but I swear, that's not the case. If you hate me, you may probably think that, as a typical XP obtuse zealot that has spent every single day of his last 5 years by implementing, studying, refining all that agile crap without selling 1 single day of consultancy, I've just got what I deserve... maybe you're right, I don't know, I'm not that enlightened like Steve, but that's not the point.
