I recently figured out why "the Agile movement" no longer meet my needs. It has mostly transformed from focusing on playing the game to commentary about the game.
That is, we've come to value the commentators over the players.
You know the target audience is members of the cult when nuanced comparisons could have been made and been favorable, but instead you went for over the top dumb.
@codescene I'm starting to feel unbelievably stupid but I can't find an answer to something as silly as "how do I get rid of the Demo-MongoDB" project?
Seemingly it can't be deleted, and I find no way to exclude it from the portfolio and list of projects.
It amazes me that the same people that consider “developers” fungible are upset when the resources consider them equally exchangeable.

@dhmacher This is almost as good as publishing a list of, and handing out rewards to great places to work..
Caveat. You pay to be "nominated" and there's consulting on how to get your number up...
No. I'm not making this up.
@DanneKarlsson@LIkonen Johan är i sanning ett fenomen.
Irriterande nog så är han ju inte bara VD, superlöpare och har tid för sin familj. Han är ju dessutom trevlig och oändligt ödmjuk.
Jag ska göra så gott jag kan för att ni ska få en bra show i Oktober!
What happened to Agile Coaching?
I’ve been in Agile for quite some time now
What I see today doesn’t look anything like the Agile I got involved with
I think it's time we talked about it
I'm getting really tired of getting told that theoretically the code that just ran in perfectly fine won't perform well enough... especially when I ran it on the worst case scenario.
I wonder if Agile of 2 decades ago really "failed". Perhaps it's more accurate to think that the profession swelled and changed so much that the industrialization we see is simply an inevitable consequence.
When I started programming, it was a profession of geeks and nerds, an odd minority.
Today, it's the most common job in Stockholm, the 8th most common in Sweden.
The what, how, and who has changed as drastically, I'm sure.
That's awesome, and it should imply more nuance.
Instead, solutions sold and accepted seem more uniform, more similar and shallow.
We churn tools, frameworks, and styles at a more frantic pace than ever. But deep insights, measured tradeoffs, and engineering. They are as rare as ever.
But we do love scaled ceremonies
@MaraMackan Utan att lägga en värdering i det, så tänker jag att yrket måste ha i sin grund förändrats om det på 20 år gått från att vara ett skrå för "kufar" till att vara det vanligaste arbetet i Stockholm och det åttonde vanligaste i landet.
