I'm just wondering how many developers actually work on EVE, either on site or off. I'm a developer and I know that they're an agile shop. I'm trying to find examples of medium to large development houses doing agile.

Three. The rest is usually too drunk or hangover to do any work.

Don't worry. Soon it'll be one. The other two have job offers from Riot.

I had to look up what that was. Looking at the "12 principles" it seems pretty common sense when it comes to product development.

Look at CSM minutes, next time list of names with CCP prefix will be shorter.
But to be honest all we need are CCP karkur and Punkturis, others are just pissing community off for one reason or another.

If you include the player base devs from other games, who hack the game to shreds after every update, 30,000 or so.

Define "work".





CCP NakedMan, dev and timid nudist of our hearts, is the hardest working dev. He found time to work on eve, as well as fight a volcano, at the same time fighting company dress codes and tearing down the walls of shame that surround workplace nudity.

Def not going to turn this into a discussion on development methods and methodology, but I'd say that whatever works for the team is the best choice. I hear and see people run around praising this or that and it does not work for everyone. I've had managers who hear said buzzwords and start a procedure to implement it just because someone said "you have to go agile".

Hence my bah. Evaluate what works best for your development team is the way to go, simply doing something because someone made it a big word on the interwebs hardly makes it a good choice on its own.

Real men edit the code directly on the live production servers!
