What Killed Waterfall could Kill Agile.

Robert C. Martin

In 1970 a software engineer named Dr. Winston W. Royce wrote a seminal paper entitled Managing the Development of Large Software Systems. This paper described the software process that Royce felt was appropriate for large-scale systems. As a designer for the Aerospace industry, he was uniquely qualified.

He began the paper by setting up a straw-man process to knock down. He described this naïve process as “grandiose”. He depicted it with a simple diagram on an early page of his paper. Then the paper methodically tears this “grandiose” process apart. In the end, Royce proposed a far more nuanced and insightful approach, leaving the reader to giggle at the silliness of the “grandiose” model.

	/* Solves the following problem

	Given a dictionary, output all word pairs where both words share all their letters except the last two, which are distinct and reversed.

	Notes:
	- Use a reasonable dictionary of your choice
	- Potential word pairs are: "ear, era" ; "revies, revise" ; "burglaries, burglarise"
	- "shear, era" is not a valid pair because "she" != "e"
	- "bell, bell" is not a valid pair because the last two letters are not distinct
	- This will be benchmarked

	I am the owner of lvh.me. And I'm glad to hear it's helpful. In truth, it's just a fancy DNS trick. lhv.me and all of it's sub-domains just point back to your computer (127.0.0.1). That means running ssl is as simple (or difficult) as running ssl on your computer.

	I'm not sure how comfortable you are with the command line, but here's my how I setup my development environment. (rvm, passenger, nginx w/ SSL, etc).
