"World's biggest" and "agile" don't really go together. One of the core tenants to agile is to break things down into small chunks. Multi year contracts for a predetermined end product are waterfall by definition. Either way, I have seen waterfall work just fine and I have seen True Agile[tm] fail hilariously miserably (to which most Agilistas respond with some form of the "No True Agile" fallacy). The most important thing is tight iterations. If a 2 week sprint fails, then it is not that big of a deal. If a 2 year death march fails? Someone's getting fired, since its the equivalent in agile-land of failing 52 sprints straight.

CGI will help Fox & Friends[tm] to visualize humans riding dinosaurs, jesus performing magical miracles, and humans NOT evolving from monkeys.

As a developer, I hope business analysts start churning out loads and loads of scripts. In ten years, my business will be through the roof! Automating one small task is easy. Creating a scalable and maintainable system... not so much.

This. Age is not excuse for 40,000 line spaghetti files.

How is that anywhere nearly as bad as internment camps!?! I am not saying it was not bad, but that does not seem even close.

Do not go into too much internal detail. Focus on visualization of outputs. Make a powerpoint with these visualizations that walk through some real world problems. Get your elevator pitch down pat. Profit!

It would help with code styling issues (note: styling is important but not MOST important). For people who downvoted the OP for being slashvertisement, here are a few FOSS alternatives for other platforms:
JSHint (aka Crockford Enforcement Enforcer)
JSLint (aka Crockford-lite)
PyLint (PEP8 compliance tool)



I am sure there are loads of others, but I work with js and python, so that is what I know.

Speak for yourself. BSG was great, and DS9 was the best ST series.

Every system has SOME point of failure. If all forms of electronic communications go down, then yeah, we are pretty much screwed. All that means is that we need to do everything possible to make sure that does not happen.

If mainstream Christianity qualifies as a "notable exception" then ok...
