Spot on. Agile is about shortcutting the process of thinking - a favorite theme for the ranks of management. Hey, let's all get on the road and worry about how we are actually going to get there or what we're going to encounter when we do! It'll be fun!

I'm tired of listening to the Agile bullshit. The entire framework is a circle jerk writ large. Just an excuse for the incompetent tech sycophants (you know them, the "I gotta certificate" crowd) to justify their existence and salaries.

We don't need no stinkin' scrum masters, but we could a few more software engineers or DevOps guys that know what the heck they are doing. Agile is a demoralizing virus that has infected corporate America. I AM OUT!

Thank you for this thoughtful article.
