Craig and Tony are at YOW! Conference in Brisbane and have a rockstar moment and catchup with Kent Beck, the creator of Extreme Programming, the pioneer of xUnit and author of numerous books including “Extreme Programming Explained” and “Test Driven Development“:

• Extreme Programming (XP) was born at Chrysler by letting go of conventional wisdom and pushing practices to eleven
• Software development is a social process, not a sum of individuals process
• Nobody cares about certificates, we care about competence
• It’s time for a renaissance and reboot of XP – this time it needs to be inclusive and no barriers to entry
• We know how to make a difference – it starts with execution and continues to empathy
• Big tent agility can become an excuse not to tackle hard problems
• “Not thinking about all the legs on the stool leaves you sitting on the ground”…
