I absolutely agree, and I believe leftists / liberals love it. Because they need a master, without a master they feel like they have no direction. Others hide behind the secret sauce, they are bad/poor at their jobs. In the same way they say... I WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO SOLVE ALL MY PROBLEMS! They want Scrum/Agile to be the authority that solves all their problems.
It's so funny, accompanying AGILE/SCRUM at the company I work for is this "us" talk, where they treat Developers, QA, Devops/Admins like they are all equal. I'm a Developer for a reason, I want to write code. I'm not here to administrate your servers, or debug your dns resolution issue, or backup your mail server. Now if I was at a startup, I get it, you do what the business needs you to do. But at a corporation, the Irony of saying "We are all equal, the team is all equal" is so ironic because it only works one way, no one ever writes code for me, and yet I find myself do everyone else's job. It's a system of cultural marxism.
Recently I pointed out that a particular engineer needed to do something (we'll call him Rob), literally because he had permissions / credentials.
My manager interrupted me and said... well it's not just Rob's job, "it's the teams job". The snowflake inclusion culture has hit software development / scrum, and all the developers have to move as slowly as the least competent one. I literally think Scrum was invented to destroy American productivity.
Snake Oil 100%.
Was told by a "scrum master" - if anything takes longer than 2 weeks it will never get done. Well what was Christopher Columbus thinking.
Scrum exists to deter from any great invention, to stifle the genius of any single individual, and to only apply obvious, mundane, and easy solutions to all problems.
The Violent Transparency part of that post, is absolutely on target. What a concise way to describe it.
