Notes so far. Pure randomness follows. Only read if you're incredibly bored.



xp rule - no second pair - when a pair does not complete a task a new group MUST do it. - RonmJeffries? > how to be a coach

jiggler - wiggle the peices like flour in a sifter

to break up a pair have one of them help someone else.

show faith trust courage respect - build them up as you do things

the goal is to insure the problem is solved - not to solve the problem

my response to commands is roughly that of a cat. RonJeffries

the simplest thing that couldd possibly work is to get up and talk to them

write a hack into the nt disk read/write code that sends file name / directory / read write to system transcript to make sure none of our unit tests are going outside the expected areas.

is random generated data better or worse?

if a class can create a (random?) instance of itself what does that do to testing?

patterns - code, testing, etc

tests are no different from code
they should be readable
they should be self descriptive
the test can be completely written with missing methods. example: self buildTransaction & self checkTransaction

use mock objects!

code coverage - code not called = code not tested - tools to find other untested code?

testing security
robot-j
boundary conditions
what keeps client a from client b data and how do we test that?

get computer software security book
check wiki

bitkeeper

new learners go from being detractors to the most enthusiac supporters

micheal teaching - personality descriptive system

xp = pleasentville
we can't go back
don't become grey to other ideas

xp anibodies can present growth - too defensive

If you want the virus to spread, quit being insulting to your audience. How can so many people have a core value of communication and absolutely no communication skill?

I really wish I knew the agenda for this meeting had changed sooner.

Open space notes:
If you can't get a word in edgewise, stand up and say you're starting a second open space about this same topic and those people who want to join you can get up and move across the room. Otherwise it will be assumed that those people who say nothing don't feel a need to contribute (and it's perfectly ok to come to listen)

Anyone going to worldcon? contact me- zen@nozen.com

I thought I was smart once. Then I had dinner with Ron and Gary.

It's too easy to go from excited to burned out. Sustainable Pace isn't just about coding.

I have a lot of photos and a mpg of people dancing. I'll put them up later if I ever figure out where this wiki can be found from the net.

Note to self:
Recommended books:
BuildingSecureSoftwareBook
WritingSecureCodeBook
SecurityEngineeringBook
A hacker's guide book due out after Christmas

Is XP/Agile becoming inbred? If everyone knows RonJeffries, then we aren't bringing in any new blood, are we?
