Principles behind the Waluigile Manifesto



We follow these principles:

Our highest priority is elaborate victory celebrations
involving roses in clenched teeth, flamboyant vamping
and repeating our own names.

Welcome weird new victory dances, even late in
development. Waluigile processes harness bizarre
demands for our own amusement.

Deliver strange software unexpectedly, every
couple of weeks to couple of months, whether
it does what anyone expects or preferably not.

Business people should get used to developers
gloating regularly throughout the project.

Build projects around weirdos for their own sake.
Give them the moustache wax and, hats and space they need,
and trust them to say 'wah'.

The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a development
team is the crotch-chop.

Roses in clenched teeth are the primary measure of progress.

Waluigile processes promote whatever looks good in the moment.
While we strive to surprise and delight, we prefer surprise.

Continuous attention to technical excellence
in victory celebrations is worth it.

Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount
of work that's not fun--is boring.

The best architectures, requirements, and designs
emerge randomly from Wario for some reason.

At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
great this is and how great it could be
and exaggerates their behavior accordingly.

Wah.
