Alt.net IS NOT Devisive
For those thinking that alt.net is negative and is divisive I remind of you David Laribee’s post several months ago about proposing the alt.net name. Now how can that mission be unclear, divisive, or negative?
If you have been doing agile, ddd, tdd, bdd, mvc, orm, ioc, di, and ci before alt.net, fantastic, so have most people in the software world. Alt.net is more than acronyms, practices, and tools. Its a mindset. Its trying help other .net community members think critically about their software and how their building it.
It is not about dictating policy, practice, or tooling. It is not about alienating people or ideas. It is about trying foster new growth within the .net community itself.
We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavoring to stifle is a false opinion; and if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still.
