I am definitely stealing this term and spreading it.

If I were to market XP today I would call it
"Continuous Coding". So you do CC, then CI, then CD. You could
shorten this to C3, and bring XP back in a full circle.
Robin,
I think it’s a great idea to build a sellable brand for XP.
How about 'Effective Programming', as in delivering results?

Hey Ron!
Yes I believe Howard could
invest *a lot* if he saw a route to growing
these practices.
A couple ideas:
Agree that this needs a major
rebranding. "Safe" sells, "extreme" is a
terrible brand for an industry practice. James
Gosling, working at Sun got marketing and
branding involved and thats why we got the
great branding for Java.
How do we make these ideas cool?
Can we get the top tech celebrities advocating
and pitching for these ideas? By celebs I mean
mainstream tech celebs like Linus Torvalds,
some of these guys https://www.quora.com/Who-are-the-best-engineers-at-Google-Why
And also tech business leaders who can
influence the CXO crowd.
Hi Robin,
Nice to see you here!

I wish we knew how many CSTs do that. I think
what we do know is that even that apparently
doesn't work, as your own story below tells.

though. At a client who I started working with
Scrum in 2010 I have trained most the staff on
Scrum. They have over 1000 developers. We sold
a total of 2 XP/TDD immersion courses with a
well known XP Coach after strenuous internal
marketing from HR and finally a Dev Sr Mgr
assigning people to the classes. This same
company spends millions per year on dev
training and regularly sell out courses on
Swift, C++, python, r, react, vmware, AWS,
Azure, tensorflow etc. etc. Budget isn't the
issue, demand for XP practices training is the
struggle.

It's a puzzlement. I've been talking with
Howard Sublett (Scrum Alliance Chief Product
Owner, for those who don't know) about the
developer problem. He's interested, and I
think he'd put some money behind it, but I'm
at a loss as to how to effectively help. It's
not clear what to do.
Ah well,
R
