Uhm, I think you're reading my post a bit uncharitably. I don't think I insulted you, for instance.

I never said that estimates were meaningless, but they are tools for planning with high intrinsic uncertainty, and translating that uncertainty to evaluations gives unfairness. People are very sensitive to (perceived) unfairness and the idea that they will be treated so will give rise to resentment, not to mention incentives to game the system and overestimate. Hence endless bickering about points.

If agile failed for any reason it was misunderstanding human psychology.

Personally I don't think human performance in creative professions is well suited to quantified analysis, especially when team efforts are involved. So I don't really have an answer there.

Yes, people have worried about this before, all the way back to the 1920s. This time, though, the skill sets of machines are getting much closer to those of humans.

Instead of "this time" I prefer "over time", because there isn't a new technology "this time" that is suddenly different that is worth arguing about. What's happening is that machines get a little more capable every day in various ways, while humans do not, and it keeps going and going....

Whatever the controversial comparison of machines and humans may be today, by tomorrow, machines will have moved forward more than people have, and even moreso the next day, and again the day after that, with no obvious reason it should ever stop.

Unless this phenomenon changes, it's just a question of time.

I wish there we had an S-Expressions based alternative to Docbook for writing manuals and books. You can argue that DSSSL should have been preferred over XSL and friends but people seem to like verbosity even if the alternative (S-Expressions) is as precise and unambiguous.
