I can only think of so many good ideas in a week. Having other people contribute makes my life easier.

When you actually sit down to write some code, you learn things that you didn't get from thinking about them in modeling terms...there is a feedback process there that you can only really get at from executing some things and seeing what works

So I hope I’ve made clear that imposing agile methods is a very red flag.

I can't choose whether someone is offended by my actions. I can choose whether I care.

Never in the annals of software engineering was so much owed by so many to so few lines of code

Comparing to another activity is useful if it helps you formulate questions, it's dangerous when you use it to justify answers.
