I completely agree. Most of the hype tends to come from those new to the field, which is an immediate turn off to many established programmers (for good reason too). Yet, there are plenty of guys ut there with gray hair who believe in agile methods. I'm one of them! :) Frankly, adapting agile methods would extend a lot of careers. Not to mention making programming fun (and productive) again. Thanks for the comment, Scott. I completely agree.

This ends up being a surprisingly touchy subject for a lot of people. I've found a lot of people that "don't believe the hype" and rightly so - because they have judged agile methodology based on the writings of a few people who don't share anything more than hype. I wish more people would find the people like Kelly and Levant and Mishkin and others who write valuably from their real world experiences. It would change (or open) a lot of minds. Thanks.
