IT'S NOT UP TO ME.
Micro plastics, inequality, global warming, Ukraine, Gaza, AI, guns, abortion rights, corporate greed. ALL OF IT. NOBODY ASKED ME.
I recycle, and I vote as hard as I can.
Do you have a suggestion for anything I might be able to do that could help?
Getting tired of being scolded. What the f is a neoliberal?
Do you not know that whenever we burn it all down, a lot of people get hurt, and the worst people take over?
I'm not even an Agile evangelist. I've used Agile in the past. I think it has great uses when done right but often it is not. That's not a No True Scotsman fallacy either. It's about understanding why aspects of Agile Methodologies work and exist and adapting them to your particular scenario. For example, the whole "no requirements" at the start thing. Does that literally mean it breaks Agile rules to not have starting requirements? First off, if you think there are universal etched in stone rules of Agile you already are probably off to a bad start. Second, it really depends on what you are building. Are you building something from scratch that you have no idea what is and will do? Probably need to be light on the hard R requirements on day 1, if you have any at all. Are you replacing a tried and true system with a new stack or deployment environment? Then you'll probably end up having a good number of hard R requirements but still want to err on the lighter side since a lot of legacy systems build up a lot of cruft that actually can be jettisoned. Being Agile is not setting out to build a car and saying, "Well according to 'the rules of Agile' we can't presume how many wheels this thing will have or if it has wheels at all!" #rant#programming
I have seen how Agile Development, the term as well as some practices, can be abused or misapplied. So I get being down on Agile. But the speed at which the tech media is catapulting a sham study by a group that has some properietary thing that they say is better shows how useless they've become. I'm not going to link to it because its already been shared so pervasively. #rant#programming
