You and the business make the decision that you will hack a theme into the product in two days. It’s going to be messy, it’s going to be ugly, but you can’t afford to lose a huge customer just because your CSS isn’t quite right, right now. This is technical debt.
Yep that is how SCRUM creates the worst possible code ever known to human history.
As one SCRUM teacher told us, you will have to accept the fact that bad code will be created that will be thrown away later. You literally turn your development team into developers that don't care about developing code anymore. Why would I create good code when it is gong to be thrown away anyway?
For Code Valley? You don't actually become a coder for them... each dev who builds and deploys Agents to the network independently owns those Agents. Code Valley have no claim to them... they're simply the team that began the project.
The community is still small, but growing. We (the CV team and other devs who have joined the community) are currently in the middle of populating layer two (of four) with Agents. You can see the four layers, and all currently active Agents in the Valley here. Some classifications are still empty (they represent demand without supply), some are filled with a single Agent, and others already have multiple competing Agents published underneath them.
If you do have any more questions, please don't hesitate to shoot them my way. I would be happy to answer :).

Im starting a tech debt refinancing company. I can refinance all of your tech debt for pennies on the dollar.

Interesting article. Has anyone checked into being a coder for that enterprise?
