how is agile "mind control" or "mind enslavement" ? care to elaborate?


it is a contagion affecting software development speed and quality by putting non-devs and non-engineers in charge of devs/engineers. it is more okay when someone who codes or engineers is in charge of running agile and how to run agile.

when someone non-technical is a scrum master, run for the hills or perform as a 10x engineer until you can automate that person's functions enough that they no longer need to show up at your meetings and just become metrics-readers and team-hype-people for representing your team and not for caring too much about anything that isn't automated metrics and team health surveys from which meaningful ventures forward could be established such as perks and more attention to extracurricular needs if there are any.

ayyyy Corporate family??? gotta take care of everyone more and get outta the way baby, we're moving code here and you're not!

but yeah, 10000000% respect for hardcore startup engineering mentality where agile actually really does mean agile, and it means lean remote agile these days where it's asynchronous comms and as little live meeting bullshit as possible. Learn how to read and write or don't call it agile. be asynchronous or you're not agile enough for me.
