Me on TDD/BDD/Pairing and Jason Fried’s TED Talk and “why work isn’t done in the office…”

Me on TDD/BDD/Pairing and Jason Fried’s TED Talk and “why work isn’t done in the office…”

By Adron Hall on November 7, 2011

This talk is so right, but could it be so wrong at the same time?

…click through to see the video…

Just watch this, that’s all I have to say. Jason is so right about this topic. Here’s a few quotes to convince you.

“I’m going to talk about work, and why people can’t seem to get things done at work…”
“If you ask people the question, “where do you go when you really need to get something done?” you typically get three different types of answers; one is a kind of a place, a location or a room, another is a moving object, a third is a time…”
“The Train” < – That one caught my fancy, if you've ever talked to be about transit you know that one caught me… 🙂

"The real problem in the modern office is the M & Ms" < – Oh hell yeah, so very true.
"Manager's jobs are really to interrupt people…" "…they don't really do work so they have to interrupt you."
"You would never see a spontaneous meeting of employees, no, managers do that…"
