Hey, it's Jim! I've been to one of his classes - it's provocative stuff, really changed the way I think about development -- although most of my takeaways were about project management rather than about testing style.

There's a whole little community of really bright thinkers about Agile process in the Pacific Northwest - Jim Shore, Arlo Belshee, Ward Cunningham, Diana Larsen - who, mostly, seem to mostly talk face-to-face rather than posting things online, so the HN crowd may not be getting the benefits of what they come up with. I'd love to see that change.

(Here's a beer, Jim.)
