InfoQ .
At Agile2008 I watched Ron Jeffries and Chet Hendrickson talk
about the natural laws of software development.
Deriving agile practices from first
principles could help people see beneath the practices to
understand why they are done and why they are done like they are.
But, how many developers are truly capable of achieving the levels
of discipline, craftsmanship and ethics and the necessary level of
rigour to use these practices to great effect? Can this stuff
really be coached to anyone or only those with an aptitude for it?
Regardless, getting people to first understand the 'why' is
definitely a step worth taking.

these guys have weird humor about them...they are simultaneously good and bad speakers the both of them.
