There’s this old joke/riddle/maths puzzle: an algae is spreading in a lake so that every night, the covered area doubles. After 10 weeks, 70 days, the lake is fully covered.

Agile Bad!
Agile development is a big ol’ turd which only serves two purposes: to keep academics busy and to promote useless people to agile coaches so they don’t accidentally break anything valuable.

Sometimes it’s fun how previous experiences add up. I’m finishing up a proposal with stuff from @joosbuijs’s PhD (different realizations of one process), some of @JmvdWerf’s work (ontologies), and stuff I worked on with @KB_Nederland (RDF). Luck, selection bias, or apophenia?
