Essay

Examples:

ClearRequirements (Clarification)
- An apparent benefit of UserStories over 'good' old-fashioned, more or less clear requirements is that no-one expects UserStories to be the complete answer, even if they are more than just SomethingToThinkAbout.
Commerce
- BusinessRequirementQuestions
PatternMiningThread (Dialogue)
- Does this mean that you believe in some radical alternative, like thinking about the problems of software in abstracto and then declaring the solution as a pattern?
- Should these patterns be written by someone with no real software experience (such as the folks at SEI?
- I shouldn't say things like that in public - pretend I didn't])?
- Or should it be the authors of the code, authors of code that has fared well and been maintainable and demonstrated other good qualities, such as QWAN?
- Wouldn't that, then, be like mining patterns? And (oh, just write it!) isn't that what I suggested?
