Computer Science is a cold, heartless endeavour. Don't let me mislead you. Our kind as technologists is teeming with brilliant, warm, caring, passionate, exacting, and dedicated humans! If any other sub-group of humans more strongly expressed the need for community, collaboration, and GATHERING(!), I don't know of it.
Computer _Science_, is, ultimately, mathematical. Cold. Complete. Calculated. Without care or worry or passion. Zero and One. Well, MaybeZero, and MaybeOne, depending on your QuantumSpin.
Within the practices of AgileDevelopment, where we track our work in sprints, we are called to collaborate with the BusinessOwner over how and when to put our efforts toward a specific topic or Feature.
