The Motherfucking Manifesto For Programming, Motherfuckers

The Motherfucking Manifesto For Programming, Motherfuckers: "Comments"


We are a community of motherfucking programmers who have been humiliated by software development methodologies for years.

We are tired of XP, Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall, Software Craftsmanship (aka XP-Lite) and anything else getting in the way of...Programming, Motherfucker.

We are tired of being told we're autistic idiots who need to be manipulated to work in a Forced Pair Programming chain gang without any time to be creative because none of the 10 managers on the project can do...Programming, Motherfucker.

We must destroy these methodologies that get in the way of...Programming, Motherfucker.
Our Values
They Claim To Value They Really Value We Fucking Do
Individuals and interactions Tons of billable hours Programming, Motherfucker
Working software Working unit tests Programming, Motherfucker
Customer collaboration Bleeding clients dry Programming, Motherfucker
Responding to change Instability and plausible deniability Programming, Motherfucker

We think the shit on the left, is really just the con in the middle, and that we really need to just do the thing on the right...Programming, Motherfucker.
Signed,

Zed A. Shaw And The Programming Motherfuckers
Becoming A Programmer, Motherfucker

If you can't code, and you want to learn, then I recommend my book Learn Python The Hard Way. It's written so anyone can get through it and at least understand the basics of...Programming, Motherfucker.

What happens in this picture is absolutely beyond me. All I know is that it was taken in Italy, and the goats in case (Alpine Ibex) are climbing the walls of the dam to lick the salt off the construction. Click on the picture to make it larger.
