Agile Enjoyment
As most of the people I talk to on a day to day basis are probably fed-up of hearing about, i’m very keen on this whole Agile Programming thing thats doing the rounds at the moment. I think it has some problems, mainly when it comes to developing usable software, but on the whole, its pretty good. Perhaps the best bit about it is that it places an emphasis on planning the project in a way that doens’t bore the developers, Lots of different things, and always looking at novel ways to solve problems (if its not a novel way - its been solved, so its not a problem any more)
I also from time to time read Steve Pavlina’s self development blog. He recently posted about a new method of planning how to achieve goals in your life. This is not based on the typical approach, that of achiving your goals as quickly as possible but on having as much fun as possible along the way along the way!
I’m not saying that thats all agile programming is about, but reading though the idea, its not a million miles away either…
