Putting all your controllers in one directory and your views in another Is like putting the cortisone and hemorrhoid cream in the drawer with toothpaste because they're all tubes.

I keep reading about things like detailed up-front Sprint plans, about "failed" Sprints, about people panicking when a Sprint doesn't go according to plan, etc. There is no agility in that thinking, whatsoever. 1/7

What is the origin of the word "mainframe"? Digging through archives, I traced it back to 1953.
