[Interest] Agile programming (Was: What don't you like about Qt?)

[Viktor Engelmann]

I don't think that agile programming is a suitable approach for
back-end code like file-formats, network-protocols, APIs,
frameworks etc.

It's okay for quickly evolving UX, but we are talking about
long-term concepts that need to provide stability and IMHO
that requirement is incompatible to agile programming.

If for example you developed a network protocol in an agile way,
in the end all machines would speak different dialects and you'd
never get them to communicate reliably.

just my 2 cents.
