XP 2nd Edition is for Ri people - again

Recently I commented on the fact that Kent Beck’s Extreme Programming Explained *2nd* edition was really for people at a Ri level of Agile understanding. I don’t know if other people agree with it or not, but this is how I understood it.

Then as I’m helping review an early draft of a certain author’s new book (1), I come across a passage where the author seems to agree. Roughly that the first edition of XP is for Shu people and the second edition is for Ri. It’s great when I can dream “great minds think alike” :-)

(1) I’m not sure if I can talk about it. The book is on Agile though.
