I fully agree. Instead of writing up stuff myself - a link: Why “Agile” and especially Scrum are terrible which is a nice read.

TOC excerpt:

Specific flaws of “Agile” and Scrum
  1. Business-driven engineering
  2. Terminal juniority
  3. It’s stupidly, dangerously short-term
  4. It has no regard for career coherency
  5. Its purpose is to identify low performers, but it has an unacceptably false positive rate
  6. The Whisky Googles Effect
  7. It’s dishonestly sold

tl;dr:

Agile is a tool and mindset which doesn't foster individual or collective joy in business, but to extort maximum profit from programmers in the name of effectiveness, without regard for the very foundations of the latter: individual strenghts, weaknesses, handicaps, genius; and it invades privacy, which is a requirement to grow.

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
