Comment on: "Agile insanity" is convincing yourself that you have a great team while in reality the good developers ran away.
I've seen agile/scum work OK, but to your point, I've never seen something jaw-dropping come from it. The tech cult in silicon valley has decided it's The Best Method though so everyone will continue to use it until they start a new, more profitable trend.
Comment on: Agile, Unit tests and rapid release cycle is pure evil.
I've worked with a lot of these managers that think up a New Top Priority every other day and it's enough to make anyone go crazy. It's even better when you ask them to detail their ideas and they blow you off like they don't have time to think on a "micro level." I would love to know what they learned while getting their MBA's.
Amen to this. I hate that Millennial kids were told they were special because they "learned" how to use a computer when computers were "new." This Gen Z is even worse...
