   Although I
will say that recent CS grads with their "extreme
 programming" and all of that happy horse sh*t are harder to bring on
 board these days.  If you think "extreme programming" is horse shit, then
you don't
 understand what "extreme programming" is all about. 
Agreed, though if your only exposure to it has been through the
evangelizing of recent grads who only fractionally understand it, such
misunderstanding is plausible.  (There also are rare contexts where
XP/agile is unnecessary or even harmful; no tool is suited to every
task.  But even if you have one of those contexts that doesn't make the
whole paradigm crap, just inappropriate to that task.)
