What to Keep and What to Throw Away, Part 2: Why Are We Still Talking About Code?

by Ken Orr

I always enjoy the annual Cutter Summit conference. At this wonderful event, I have a chance to talk to a lot of old friends and Cutter clients and, most important, I always meet and learn from people who I haven't heard from before. This year was no exception: there were great talks about wikis, open source, and technology roadmapping planning. However, there was also something I find distressing: there was still an inordinate amount of discussion about code and coding.
