  • Maybe don’t throw your whistleblowers in a jail and let them rot for life, and you will avoid defections to another country.

    Can you blame the guy to not want to die in a dark cell for showing the world that your own government is keeping a lot of tabs on you without your knowledge?

    He tried to go to other countries, but none of them wanted to take him in except Russia because of what he knew.

    So it’s either die in a cell in the US, or live a somewhat free man in Russia.

    The choice is clear.

    So demand that your government do better and get behind the people that shows you how your government fucks you over.









  • Do you think that traditional project management is from the top down? Or were you exposed to bad traditional project management? Because that’s the same argument that you are making for Agile.

    Let’s make things clear - the Agile methodology is a great tool. But like any other tool, it is not a one size fits all. But what is happening right now is that it’s pushed by upper management because that’s the cool tool.



  • No, it just means that this is not the right tool for that company. But it is forced upon the employees.

    That’s naive ( or bad faith) to think that it gives power to the workers. It’s just used against them.

    I get the spirit of the method, but it is not the only available tool and the right tool for every project and company and should be treated as such.


  • If there is so few people that get it right, maybe the problem is that the system is not adapted for the vast majority of people and the reality of the work life, and other options should be explored.

    But there is always someone claiming that everyone else get it wrong and blablabla.

    But someone with a MBA in a closed office is pushing that shit all the time, and everyone that has to use it roll their eyes because they know damn well that the only thing that will matter is those damn story points, and the people will game the system because that’s all that matters to those that don’t use the system, and you will hear about that other team that always finish the tasks in their sprint.
