On: Anxiety in product development

> development is 'fear driven development' for quite a while now.

Do you have examples of fear-driven and non-fear development approaches? And what flavors of "non-fear" development are possible?

Yea dude it's supposed to be a fun learning experience. We got into software so we wouldn't have to work, not to be driven and crunched to death by self serving management culture.

Look at all the early software pioneers do they look like they were suffering from constant anxiety vis how productive they have been for decades?

Consider the moive "Silence of the Lambs": Lecter was able to get his cell neighbor to swallow his own tongue just through his powers of persuasion.

I think he's saying there is no such thing as "non-fear-driven development".
