Now, listen - I know the two of you are very different from each other in a lot of ways, but you have to understand that as far as Grandpa's concerned, you're both pieces of shit! Yeah. I can prove it mathematically.

Multiple Dev and QA folks independently thanked me for doing this, but the team's project manager, who is a slavish devotee to traditional Agile process (he has "certified scrum master" on his resume), hated it so much that he still snipes at me about it, years later. This is despite the fact that he doesn't bat an eyelash when the team team habitually inflates their story point estimation methodology to create the illusion of ever-increasingly velocity (I don't give a poo poo; I know who does work, and things take as long as they take). Clearly, I'm not over it.

People who religiously adhere to scrum loving weird. Evangelical christians, orthodox jews and jehovah's witnesses are generally more open-minded and flexible about religion than the scrum true believers.

I'm a developer and I usually get along better with my PM's than I do my fellow dev's. I find a lot of software guys will prattle forever about the philosophy about how software should be made and I think that 95% of the time it does not loving matter, just get that poo poo done.

Agile has some cool takeaways but it takes a lot of effort to make it work and in general with that amount of effort any other method would work too.

I actually remember getting a lot of that when I was a new developer.

Generally the people who talk about that every day are the frauds. Don't give them anything important to do.
