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.

Counterpoint: It takes a lot of experience to know which 95% doesn't matter so you don't paint yourself into a corner with a bad design decision.
