Emerging Ideas
Monday, February 24, 2003

I grabbed about two dozen quotes from the Weick and Roberts article. I commented on each quote in a couple sentences and watched for unifying themes. A few of them began to emerge. I grabbed the related comments and started tying them together in a few paragraphs. Over the weekend I was surprised to see some novel ideas emerge. It has been an interesting exercise thus far.

At this point the name of the paper is Heedful Programming: The Collective Mind of Agile Software Development. Not sure if it's a good title, since I have yet to effectively define heedful interrelating or collective mind, let alone heedful programming. I have focused on discipline and peer pressure up to this point.
