It was a really good session. Lots of lively debate with what seemed to be a decent conclusion. I liked being asked "what have you learned tonight?" at the end of the evening.
I've been making plenty of notes and will try to provide you all with a write-up by tomorrow.

Couldn't agree more - learned lots and pleased with the ebb and flow of the discussion. David T mentioned a book on legacy systems - anyone remember what it was called? Cheers Neil

I have arrived late, but have seen your round-up and it seems that the discussion went really well.
I personally (being obsessed about the control loops) think and could see in all your answers, that good processes were ALWAYS about tightening up the control loops. Ideas like 'zero bugs' is the loop reduced virtually to nothing or to few synapses looped in the brain of a developer, instead of following loop code - commit - continuous_integrate_it - fix, which is much bigger and time consuming.
Also it feels that only overhead in using 'zero bugs' policy is initial transition and reaching the status of zero bugs. However aiming for no bugs and doing daily coding must gradually shift people between horribly world of bugs and pain to a pink and jolly world of no bugs.
Any views?
