A post on my favorite self-dafting website [1] makes a little advertisement for Essence [2], a new Heart of Agile [3] from one of the blokes who inflicted the RUP [4] on us.

[1] Yo, LinkedIn.

[2] Look at Ivar Jacobson's marketing page.

[3] Hint: it's not. HOA is about principles not methods. Check it out.

[4] Maybe you have heard of it: Rational Unified Process. From a time where people still thought that the answer to more D is more R. Of course the answer is more K, but who'm I telling anything new here [5]?

[5] Ashby's Law [6]. Mildly interesting if you like to think about self-governance in complex environments. Take a good hard look what K does.

This post is all about the footnotes. Therefore it ends here.
