Power In The Way of Progress
Kelly French wrote yesterday about Why Extreme Programming Fails. He made an interesting observation that caught my eye about human nature. He drew a correlation between why Continuous Integration is scoffed at and law #11 from The 48 Laws of Power.
I believe in Continuous Deployment as Timothy Fitz writes about and IMVU, Flickr and others practice. I am itching to implement the bits necessary to flush out defects early and prevent major problems later at work. I guess the "Laws" keep getting in the way, though. I wanted to believe people just needed some time to understand the concept and might slowly come around. After reading the "Laws", however, they may just be trying to hold on to power.
I guess I need to change my tact. Now... how to do that?
