I disagree. RAD vs. Agile, sure, not much difference.
XP, however, is RAD/Agile with Purple KoolAid(tm).
XP advocates drive me up a tree.
First, the leaders are all a bunch of *FAILURES*. The CCC project that
spawned all these Smalltalk weenies who advocate XP got shitcanned.
Somehow people don't seem to notice this. I don't want advice from
someone who failed at what they are giving advice on, thanks.
Second, "Everything has to be done together to work!" No. Good
engineering principles stand on their own. Yes, good engineering
principles can sometimes multiply their effects when done together, but,
even when done in isolation, they still work better. This is *not* true
for XP.
