[Interest] What don't you like about Qt?

[Roland Hughes]

This would be the second 2 fatal flaws with Agile.

Developer's choice

1 and done mentality/management. Actually that is better than some of 
the Agile groups at equipment manufacturers, some of them demand their 
developers commit 3 completed stories per day.

Big ugly Ogre on steroids type bugs don't get fixed, they simply rot 
until the product/company goes away. Moral is high but product quality 
is low.

On my current project, counting by the calendar, various team members, 
myself included, have put in over 1 month tracking down a memory leak 
problem. Each of us have found various parts of it, but there was 
nothing Agile about it. This was old school grind it out trouble 
shooting which is not allowed under Agile. Valgrind was near useless 
because it slowed the target down enough to require nearly a full 
overnight run but with Valgrind and the app running you ran out of 
memory within a few hours.

We may well have found the last piece of it on Friday, but, it will take 
some time to be sure. Grinding through the code by hand is a chore, 
especially when the project has north of 1 million lines and is growing 
daily.

Sorry for any discontinuity here. Started this reply many weeks ago, but 
have been heads down in the typical Agile catastrophe, no time to 
respond. Well, no time until now. Finally gave up and left the project.

No project started with Agile can ever be saved. Period!

Rather than continue this discussion here I'm going to dust off a title 
I hadn't scheduled for completion until 2019. I had done bits and pieces 
on it but this conversation has told me it is definitely time to finish 
and release it.

The T-Shirt was right.
