Re^8: Beyond Agile: Subsidiarity as a Team and Software Design Principle

While the "requirements" change here, as you point out "even after the system became operational and throughout its 30-year operational lifetime" That's a revision, not a requirements change.

Nancy G. Levenson, the same Nancy Leveson the US government chose to Chair the "COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW OF OVERSIGHT MECHANISMS FOR SPACE SHUTTLE FLIGHT SOFTWARE PROCESSES" that produced "An Assessment of Space Shuttle Flight Software Development Processes", chose to call this: "The Challenge of Changing Requirements".

You on the other say that she was wrong to do so. Let's see now, who's choice of phraseology do I take as authoritative?

Further, you lightly insult in your posts.

The I guess you don't want to know which box I put you in now.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I'm with torvalds on this Agile (and TDD) debunked I told'em LLVM was the way to go. But did they listen!

who's choice of phraseology do I take as authoritative I don't care what you call it, it's only the facts that we care about. The I guess you don't want to know which box I put you in now. You are an intelligent person who elaborates well on points in posts, and will usually take the time to respond all the way through a thread. If only you would stop using insults, your posts would be even better, and more people would look forward to reading them.	[reply]

Be fair! He didn't surrender; he simply didn't engage. He started with opinion and dogma: I disagree with the contention that requirements always change. I see it as a euphemism used to excuse laziness in gathering requirements. And when I responded with challenge and irrefutable evidence. He knee-jerked & prevaricated When that was met with a spoon feeding He responded (typically for his ilk) by attacking the format rather than the content of the message. And when that opinion was further met with authoritative refutation... He attempted assassination by condescension At no point did he offer evidence in support of his opinion; but he didn't so much surrender, as simply 'shut up'; which was probably wise. Anyone got any experience of this phone's predecessor?
