The Thoughtworks Interview


The Death Star as a metaphor.
Today in TWU we were talking about the Thoughtworks interview process, and the trainer was soliciting ideas for good interview questions. During class I didn't come up with anything, but someone else came up with this, "In what way is the DEATH STAR a metaphor for software development?" The question was a recycled joke from earlier in the week, but it got a few laughs, and someone actually came up with a good answer,

Q: "In what way is the DEATH STAR a metaphor for software development?"
A: "They Deployed it before it was complete, and on the first production run it blew up."

Thoughtworks University

I've got a new job and i'm goin to India.

What happens when you mix agile development and gettin jiggy? You get Agiggly development. I don't know what the hell that means, but I am going to Thoughtworks University to learn all about Agile. Once I know that I'll be one step closer to Agiggly development. Will I write about it? I probably won't be able to think of anything funny enough so probably not. Buisness as usual here, but I will give you a link to the photo gallery documenting the trip.
