well, there we have the ultimate unpopular opinion. in that it is absolutely untrue. if your code is currently actively blowing up children, and that is what determines having a roof over your head, come sleep on my couch instead.

scrum isn't bad per-se, but all the wanking around roles and ceremonies is just dumb and ignores the real point of it: to avoid having to commit to anything solid and do anything resembling planning by just shouting "agile!" at people

most problems in fact, since 90% of them were probably caused by lack of resources in the first place

are you doing stuff, what stuff?
do you need help with stuff?
here is the stuff to do, pick it up when you're done with your current stuff.
here is the stuff we did, how did we do?

this is cutting edge thought, everything else is icing.

sprints and points and so forth are important as predictive models of how much a team can get done in a given timespan and while of course agile can be done poorly and in fact frequently is, its a good framework to develop workflows on top of.

it's easier and more worth your while to scale up by changing the product definition to line up with things that scale well according to theory than it is hiring and doing good distributed system engineering with modern systems to scale any product up.

object oriented programming (the java/c# style) is a bad paradigm. it requires too much ceremony to accomplish simple tasks and the alleged benefits don't manifest in larger systems.

oop is a pretty good way to model GUI elements, and also hardware drivers


if you throw out oop, does that mean throwing out classes/structs? because lol @ that

classes yes, structs no.

it means that instead of having a class which both contains data as well as operations on that data, you have data structures that contain data, and you have functions that operate on data, and those are two separate things that don't have to be intrinsically linked

Why is this:

code:
bumpFoo(foo_instance, bumpdata)
somehow better than

code:
foo_instance.bump(bumpdata)
?

It just leads to a bunch of smurf naming, and adds no value other than coolpoints for rolling your own class-calling convention

You don’t want to let a foo bump itself. You have to show it how to bump.

It's not about notation, it's about how you organize the code. Sometimes you may prefer to implement a system that works with a bunch of objects in its own place, rather than it's implementation being spread across all these classes
