Co-author of "The Pragmatic Programmer," Hunt revolutionised software development practices. His work on code kata, software craftsmanship, and the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle has shaped modern programming. He co-founded The Pragmatic Bookshelf, bringing practical wisdom to software development.
The "New New Product Development Game" by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka introduced the concept of a faster, flexible approach to product development. Emphasising teamwork, self-organisation, and overlapping phases, it likens the process to a rugby match, where teams pass the ball seamlessly. This method, foundational to Agile, encourages innovation and adaptability in competitive markets.
