Joel Spolsky
“Many rookie software managers think that they can "motivate" their programmers to work faster by giving them nice, "tight" (unrealistically short) schedules. I think this kind of motivation is brain-dead. When I'm behind schedule, I feel doomed and depressed and unmotivated. When I'm working ahead of schedule, I'm cheerful and productive. The schedule is not the place to play psychological games.”
Joel Spolsky, Joel on Software

“The team was flowing. Work in progress was under control. Features were used by customers. It was like watching a unicorn drive a Tesla through a burndown chart.”
Scott M. Graffius, Agile Protocol: The Transformation Ultimatum
