  Martin Fowler has taken a look [martinfowler.com] and doesn't like what he sees...

    Well duh. That's like Dave Rolsky taking a look at "101 Ways to Torture Bunny Rabbits" and not liking what he sees. Fowler's an XP low-process guy. The SWEBOK is all about process.

      Oh, I agree. But more than I care about either lots of process or little process, my main complaint from reading about it is that it might be forced onto people as the One True Way. I guess I was alarmed by reading about it being made into some kind of "legal" thing. Not that it'd probably affect me as a non-US citizen.

      P.S. Bunny make good pie!

        Any country that mandated software be developed according to the formal processes in that document would soon find themselves somewhere behind Albania in the tech race. :-)

          Hmmm. Sounds like a really good book [amazon.com] I read not too long ago...

            Yeah, I read that when I started on Perl 6. It's was good, if a little ... preachy. Of course, that's the point. But it read like Harry Potter with an agenda :-)
