Dumb quote! Of course it is about the money. At least
for normal people with a family.
It is funny in a way. XP is less about programming and
more about the human/programmer side of things. XP
stands up for programmers more then any other
methodology I read.
Yet, when it comes to outsourcing (AKA - LOSING ALL
OUR JOBS!) we are all INDIVIDUAL programmers. No XP
philosophy in site. we just except it or bitch about
it. Almost all the leaders (Beck, Jeffries,
Cunningham, etc.) ignore it completely, especially on
this site.
I wonder if XP will ever branch out into the world of
offshoring, good and bad. I guess if there are no
programmers in this country in 10 years (and some
predict this) then it doesn't matter but if
outsourcing goes wrong I wonder how it affects
programmers in this country (as people) and how jaded
they have/might become and how that might affect
future projects in general.
Again, I just wonder if there isn't a place in XP for
the subject of offshoring.
