... frameworks. I have a very strong aversion to Dependency Injection frameworks. Hate... is a little strong; but I'm comfortable saying I hate DI Frameworks. "But why?" I hear you ask. I mean... I actually read it. This post is the answer to that question I was asked in…
Yes. Do that. Not only should we follow Principle 7 of giving products to customers early, but we need to communicate with them. Not just feedback on the product itself; but stay in touch. We need to have raport and a working relationship with our customer. As a product team,…

There's requirement verification (another principle) which... Not really. I'm very emergent design-y. I'm not gonna list the other…
