Chuck Norris makes database and system backups to his head. One Norrisbyte = 10^963 of Terrabytes.

Chuck Norris is God of Scrum method and therefore he has all tests finished for seven days.
And Seventh day he said: ” it’s done. Let there be release! ”
And it was released. :-)

Guess you could do the same with Jack Bauer:
Jack Bauer sprint is 24 hours long.
Jack Bauer tasks do not last longer than 45 minutes.

Comment on Responses from the programmer and tester surveys by Markus Gärtner

The main difference is that I had different sources for motivation. My colleague for programmers, Lee Copeland for testers. I address different claims with each.

Hi James,

I take it as a learning opportunity for myself. With the surveys I tried to find out data about claims that my colleague and Lee Copeland made. These were based on “hunches”.

Validating the set of responses is fairly one thing that I oversought. Lesson learned.

I found an error in the survey for testers. You ask for names you recognise. If you do not know anyone, the form refuses to send to the backend.

The programmers survey is about technology, the testers one is about persons or books you know or read by you. Strange.

How do these survey results generalize to anyone beyond the specific people who answered? I think the answer is: you have no idea. How did you control for different interpretations of each question. I think the answer is: you didn’t.

I respect you, Markus, but surveys like this are an attractive nuisance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractive_nuisance_doctrine
