I've been a big fan of most of the practices I learn from Agile for a long time. I've never been a big fan of zealotry, though. To me, the core of agile is about continuous self-improvement and everything else comes from that. If you adopt a couple of good practices just because some guru told you to, and you haven't really learned how to evaluate your own situation and discover ways to improve your self or your team, you're missing it.

On that note, I'd like to thank jrwren for these hilarious agile videos. We've had lots of intense agile-buzzword-flying-around action at work and it's nice to see the human side and smile again.
