October 12, 2005 - XP Stages of Acceptance
My friend Kevin is a very smart guy. He did a talk that was an intro to XP and one of his slides was "XP Stages of Acceptance":- intrigued
- “something about pair programming?”
- offended
- “no upfront design? will never work!”
- dismissive
- “i already do most of it already”
- addicted
- “i can’t imagine not doing xp”
This list came to mind today because it seems Joel is moving from offended to dismissive. Perhaps in a year he'll have an article explaining the technique of "dual coding" that they used on FogBugz 6.0...

Joel sure is taking a long time, especially for a very smart individual. Most people go from intrigued to addicted in less than 6 months, not in over 6 years.
But anyway, it's a variation on:
"All truth passes through three phases: First it is ridiculed, secondly it is violently opposed and thirdly it is accepted as self evident." -- Schopenhauer
Oh, and I agree, Kevin is very smart.
