"Most agile practitioners understand it takes some time for a team to "gell," or settle into the routine of working smoothly together. Until that time, the team doesn't achieve its own normal throughput or velocity. This is one of the reasons for the agile guideline to form teams for the long term and keep the same people together project after project, in contrast with the traditional approach of forming a new team for each project. What surprises me is the widely-held assumption in the agile community that it's okay to change one or a few team members occasionally. Project managers and ScrumMasters tend not to treat this as a "new team" situation. They don't adjust their projected completion dates for delivery when they change individual team members. The assumption is that swapping out one team member doesn't disrupt the team very much."

"What Calzada is getting at is, I think, a tremendous fallacy that lies at the root of the entire problem with software development models like Waterfall: the category error that treats the writing of code as a low-level mechanical process, rather than an ideational one, a matter of mere execution rather than creation."

"For example purposes only. This example would only work with slow moving zombies, i.e: the “classic” zombie. It only increases our chances to 50/50 with fast moving zombies."
