My name is David Kramer. I live in the Boston area. I’m an all-around geek, but my background is software engineering and manager developing web-based ecommerce Java software using Agile methodologies.

I am a Software Engineering Manager, Agile Coach, DevOps Engineer, and Maker.

But this website is more about my ideas and interests than it is about myself. It in no way reflects the ideas and views of my employers past and present.

Cargo Cults and Agile Posers

06/03/2009 by David Kramer·1 Comment

I got a link to this post from the Agile Alliance LinkedIn group.  Yes, it’s an article about Agile software development.  I love Agile (and rolled out Agile practices at my previous employer).  It’s about people who go through the motions of Agile without really doing it, let alone understanding it.

If you’re not into Agile, though, the whole cargo cult meme is fascinating, and worth reading about.
