scrum: old buzzword...kanban? whatever, new buzzword in the making
Both are used by nazi ignorant management who fails to comprehend the difference between a factory that mass produce already designed and tested parts vs the production of software.
10 years ago, I was complaining people used amazing, friend, hilarious and other superlatives to talk about mildly better ordinary things.
Today I see people throw in fascist and nazi like darts at a pub night.
The noise/signal ratio is really getting terrible.
The tendency to exaggerate small things is also a normal part of this process, because our society start to fracture, things became tough and so anything is seen as a giant thing.
It's not different anyway than the various plethora of managers who attend "schools of management" learning essentially a kind of religion and apply it in their life as a religion, failing to see that. We have on the records stuff like some real estate C-levels hospitalized due to feet burns because at a team building events they have marched on a carpet of hot coals [1] and others in the Nederland who get hospitalized for serious concussions because they have play to drop themselves in the arms of their colleagues... What do you classify such hilarious extreme episodes? They are rare of course, but not so rare, and even without certain outcomes they show a certain approach.

I propose to came back and makes modern a classic OS-as-a-single-application, like Smalltalk workstations or LispM ones, where desktop computing and end-users programming are at the center so ANYTHING simple is damn simple, anything complex is doable and we do not reinvent the wheel every time because in modern systems there is no possible substantial integration so any apps try to be an "everything app" and anyone pull a gazillion of third party dependencies because there is little time and no common base.
This will be a long journey we have to live anyway because current infa are nearby a self-explosion point, as is the current social order but before we did less hard it will be.
