Agile
Manifesto for Agile Software Development
We are uncovering better ways of developingsoftware by doing it and helping others do it.Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items onthe right, we value the items on the left more.
As a child, I decided to believe the opposite of what anyone told me.

Most of being good at the work of it is to get over fear.
That everything that corrupts it comes from fear. Fear is the root. It brings that ego to the forefront of “How am I doing? How’s it going? How am I being perceived right now?”
I think it’s not to overcome fear. Fear just disappears. It’s just not there.
This faith, this trust, and this confidence, when those things are in place, there’s no room for anything else.
