I'm not a fan of canceling people. But that doesn't mean I want to be friends with them. This was worth writing.

One of the main misapplications of Agile is jumping to the implementation part of the old SDLC ("waterfall") and breaking it into iterations, rather than condensing the whole SDLC into short iterative cycles.

I’m still wearing a mask in public, partly because a man hasn’t told me to smile in over a year.

The agile manifesto says: "We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it." NOT "We know the one true way to manage the software lifecycle. We don't actually write software, but we can certify you." #agile

The more I struggle to understand the material on the SAFe website, the more the phrase “baffle them with bullshit” comes to mind. This “framework” seems to be an excuse to include passing mentions of every Agile idea they’ve heard of, including contradictory ones.

There are a few pervasive fallacies that make software hard: 1. We need accurate, precise estimates 2. Low output is motivation-based 3. We need to get more work started 4. Throughput comes from isolated individual coders 5. We need to program faster
