Descriptions of "agile" software development always raised a red flag for me and I (still) can't quite pin it.
Just stumbled upon the agile manifesto, which seems to be basically the root source of the whole thing and daaamn, that's some capitalist self-sacrificial bullshit right there…
@phryk ya ew. when my friends were selling out in silicon valley and when they told me about their agile sprints and about how they had kinda got consumed by it and "loved" it, i was horrified
@eribloodlust Invasion of the memetic bodysnatchers. :P
Pretty sure all I'd ever get from agile is burned out. :F
@eribloodlust On second thought, it does seem to have a bit of a cult-like quality, doesn't it? 🤔
@phryk i kinda percieve it like this thing that people kinda have to buy in to to make it in their field and to rise up and you kinda have to smile while you eat shit. but i kinda pity that
@eribloodlust I'm not sure that quite explains the fervor many people seem to put into this ideology…
Tho, it might be the main reason agile doesn't just die…
