A common criticism of "web standards" and of me personally has been that such constraints limit the freedom of creation and innovation. I find this thinking to be logical and reasonable. I also find the way we apply it us often impracticle. (1)

A developer aquaintance and I have been discussing our frustrations with the state of the web. A thought they sent to me was about Agile development and the thought that this factored in to the discontentment's we were feeling.

Agile development is in fact a very fine metaphor to explain the true goals and intent of my position. Especially scrum to sprint which use limitations to solve problems quickly. Specifically applied, I believe this method to be powerful, but as a methodology, it often fails.

Human beings take a lot of time to develop physically. We don't pop out of the womb speaking succinctly on a shared issue. We don't take our first breath and immediatly start sprinting. It might be a nice thought, but isn't what happens because we need more time to develop.

Before we sprint, we must learn to breathe. Then we need to gain strength enough to sit up. We begin to move around on hands and knees, before we can stand at all much less walk. Then we learn to walk and that takes time too. It takes around 2 years of age for us to run!

Never do I personally want the web developer to not have opportunity to create and innovate. We can do this in a sandbox, but we rush to deployment, usually for reasons that include making a deadline, retaining a paycheckc, and of course, the company profit and optics.
