Clearly I don't use X but when I do; I'm not blogging about DevOps because DevOps is not a product; its a methodology.

Not going to lie, saw this and thought it was #9front propaganda!
Just got off a call with my third vendor that was "us based" but everyone on the call was from #BRICS. my #security #tipoftheday Don't just KYU but also KYV (know your vendor)! #Infosec breaches these days are not mainly from CVEs or Phishing but from 3rd party vendors.
#golang for arm64 (#raspberrypi 3,4,5) has a non-functional bootstrap in #9frotnt. After talking with moody and the guys at @9gridchan confirmed its in the communities court to resolve. Well.. guess what this bloke stepped up for...

I've seen so many recruiters today ask for Data Engineering requirements but call it DevOps Engineer just be cause the manager said kubernetes and even a few ask for 5 years experience with OpenAI.
Sure their not technical people but at least know what your selling.

Today my last episode of ThreatWire posts on the Hak5 YouTube channel - the time has come for me to focus my time on my own channel. Thank you @Hak5 for 15 years of experiences and memories!

Doesn't sound like scrum the issue here just the same waterfail issues of old. (E.g. Stakeholders not adopting a management culture)
Scrum is a cancer.
I've been writing software for 25 years, and nothing renders a software team useless like Scrum does.
Some anecdotes:
1. They tried to convince me that Poker is a planning tool, not a game.
2. If you want to be more efficient, you must add process, not remove it. They had us attending the "ceremonies," a fancy name for a buttload of meetings: stand-ups, groomings, planning, retrospectives, and Scrum of Scrums. We spent more time talking than doing.
3. We prohibited laptops in meetings. We had to stand. We passed a ball around to keep everyone paying attention.
4. We spent more time estimating story points than writing software. Story points measure complexity, not time, but we had to decide how many story points fit in a sprint.
5. I had to use t-shirt sizes to estimate software.
6. We measured how much it cost to deliver one story point and then wrote contracts where clients paid for a package of "500 story points."
7. Management lost it when they found that 500 story points in one project weren't the same as 500 story points on another project. We had many meetings to fix this.
8. Imagine having a manager, a scrum master, a product owner, and a tech lead. You had to answer to all of them and none simultaneously.
9. We paid people who told us whether we were "burning down points" fast enough. Weren't story points about complexity instead of time? Never mind.
I believe in Agile, but this ain't agile.
We brought professional Scrum trainers. We paid people from our team to get certified. We tried Scrum this way and that other way. We spent years doing it.
The result was always the same: It didn't work.
Scrum is a cancer that will eat your development team. Scrum is not for developers; it's another tool for managers to feel they are in control.
But the best about Scrum are those who look you in the eye and tell you: "If it doesn't work for you, you are doing it wrong. Scrum is anything that works for your team."
Sure it is.

Sometimes it feels like modern #scrum it just micro management. Never did we sign into the manifesto one has to do story points, daily reports, sprints, or all that.
For a refresher:
- Working software is the primary measure of progress.
- Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount
of work not done--is essential.
- At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly.
- The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a development
team is face-to-face conversation.
So a weekly retro is cool and just walking up to (or over slack/zoom call) a co-worker's desk and having a face to face chat about needs works just as well.
How about we drop the "ceremonies" and get stories shipped?
OMG somebody cover @scrumtuous eyes or phone or screen, I don't know.
