Προγραμματιστής, με πέντε παιδιά? Ή πως η οικογένεια κάνει τον καλό project manager

Είναι ο Kent Beck, ο οποίος στο βιβλίο Agile Software Development Ecosystems του Jim Highsmith λέει (σ. 49):

Jim Highsmith: What else has contributed to you views about mentoring and leading teams?

Kent Beck: I think being a parent comes into it, too. I have five kids - you learn when you have a larger family by today's standards just how much stuff really doesn't matter. That's how I enjoy them. I have three stages of emergency that I live by. Number one is seeping blood, which I'll take care of at half-time; dripping blood, which I'll take care of at the next commercial; and spurting blood, which I'll get up off the couch and deal with immediatelly. And seriously, some of that imperturbability helps me survive large clients where people yell and scream. I just chill out, and I get through it.

Αφιερωμένο σε όλους τους παντρεμένους και οικογενειάρχες της παρέας!
