On “Complexity is killing software developers”

Thank the consulting industry for bastardizing a noble idea into a cash cow cottage industry. So managers can look at pretty dashboards and feel their highly paid developers are working hard... . the agile we do today is complete 100% bullshit , even the original Agile Manifesto guys said so. link to this video No other engineering Industry uses this nonsense. Breaking every part of your job into micro tasks then dog and 🐎 them every day just so some scrumaster can drag and drop tasks around... (Silicon Valley made a spoof of this.. link to this video ) yeah real productive /s...has to be one of the most ineffective and inefficient ways to accomplish a project.. ...but big name consultants make big $$$…
