“Quix even built a kanban board that talked. It had an AI voice that said things like, “Your velocity is weak, and your story points are ashamed to be associated with you.” We named it KanbanChatterbox.”
Scott M. Graffius, Agile Protocol: The Transformation Ultimatum

Robert C. Martin
“Indeed, the ratio of time spent reading versus writing is well over 10 to 1. We are constantly reading old code as part of the effort to write new code. ...[Therefore,] making it easy to read makes it easier to write.”
Robert C. Martin, Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship
