I disagree with this post. OP is a poopoo face. But what do I know, I'm just a burnt out software engineer looking for some interesting tech links.

not struggling with it, just hating it. if you think about it, small teams that communicate well do not need to have formal daily meetings and story boards. therefore agile is a crutch. this is analogous to how people who have social adjustment problems resort to drugs like a crutch - its a structured externalized way of coping with ones deficiencies.

also real software engineers use waterfall. imagine for a moment, engineers on the joint strike fighter project creating user stories and attending standup meeting every day to discuss their progress.

i dont know. in the good old days, we called meeting in real time, and huddled in a conference room when needed. this is how its always worked, and if the team is not made of dysfunctional developers it works wonderfully.

i propose we create a user story out of this and have daily meetings till one of us commits suicide.

Comments on TC are obviousely from the same angry person. There are only two things that can make a man this angry: a) you take his dignity or b) you take his woman.
