SteveJorgensen ----- '''[California, San Francisco (East Bay)]''' I am VERY interested in getting into another Extreme Programming project. I ran the XP team for Sage Systems (company went under due to lack of funding of Energy startups), and participated as both the manager and as a developer. We didn't implement everything (no pair-programming for example), but did use most of the methodology. It was GREAT! The business partners LOVED it. So. I'm looking for another one. I am interested in either full-time in the San Francisco, East Bay area, or contracting anywhere (on-site or remote). Contact me for more info.

I want to find an XP job in a Java environment near here. I've been a programmer for decades and when I read Kent Beck's book "eXtreme Programming eXplained - EMBRACE CHANGE" it gave me hope that there might be a shop where productivity is valued over ego. When I got my first job as a programmer, I was thrilled that someone would actually pay me to do something I loved to do. However, time has taught me that I get paid for all the non-programming stuff: * Generating schedules which only work because you KNOW the dependent project won't be done when they say. * Office politics. * Helping a new person get up to speed only to have them 1) leave or 2) publish your ideas as theirs. * Explaining to the clueless boss why his "great" idea is stupid. * Writing specifications which are rarely read and which are NEVER updated to reflect the final version. * Being forced to maintain code which should have been tossed years ago. * ... I'd program even if I didn't get paid for it (However, I do have a family so I need to get paid.). -- JavaSchrod mailto:jbgde@hotmail.com ----- '''[Atlanta, GA, USA]''' I'm looking for an XP team to join.
