Devnology podcast 032 - Philippe Kruchten

In this episode we talk with Philippe Kruchten about architecture
and software development processes like Rup and Agile. Philippe
discusses what he calls the Elephants in the Agile room, and we
also discuss his take on academic research on software
engineering. We talk about cognitive biases and reasoning
fallacies. Be sure to listen to the full episode - as Philippe
explains: context is king! :)
