Dave Thomas sound bites

Dave Thomas (the SmallTalk one and not the Ruby one) gave a very interesting presentation tonight with a lot of good information in it. Two things really stood out for me:

1. Best Wrong Way
   
2. Stories without Acceptance Tests are wishes (I may be paraphrasing slightly)

Best Wrong Way means that today we are doing our Best Wrong Way and tomorrow we will find a better Wrong Way. There is no Best Right Way (just like there are no Silver Bullets). A lot like focusing on making things no worse instead of trying to always make things better.

I think wishes speaks for itself.
