The Pragmatic Bookshelf | PragPub February 2013 | Estimation is Evil

Very awesome (did I also mention intelligent and insightful?) article by Ron Jeffries.  I've seen this disease on my current team unfortunately, with some of our releases going into estimation fever, second guessing, and requests for new estimates if any of the features change.  Fortunately we don't always fall into this trap, but unfortunately it happens.

Sweet and Sour Thai Chicken


Dinner last night.

We had planned on another recipe for dinner but found we didn't have all of the ingredients.  So.. time to go through the pantry and see what we had to work with.

Actually, not too shabby if I say so myself.  A saucy, sweet and sour done Thai style (meaning no thick and cloying maraschino sauce).
