I found the blurb on Stone Ruination pretty funny when I first saw it.  And last weekend, contemplating life over a short little four-day vacation at the beach, [...]]]></description>

Just a few words of encouragement for my departing colleagues.

Instead of working out solutions, I&#8217;ve seen quite a few teams bog themselves down in debates over processes, arguments over backlog and bug tracking tools, holy wars about languages, and debates over core hours (which get really ridiculous when it comes from multinational teams).

But teams quite often can&#8217;t see what&#8217;s right for a [...]]]></description>
