Funny if people think that humor and aggression will help get your point across. All project management sucks, some just suck more than others. When working on larger projects it becomes paramount to make sure that there is some structure. In my experience scrum/agile is the best day to day method. All of the nuisances in the article are a result of sloppy process management. A good scrum master will make sure that standups won’t take long. Managers can join the standup but should stfu, listen only. If jira issues become so detailed that it contains all details needed for implementation than it has become a documentation tool. The author truly has no grasp on what scrum/agile is about.

Interesting, as it seems to me the author has worked for numerous places, like I have, that bastardize Agile so much that it is like working in a daycare full of idiots. Especially idiots who think they know what Agile is.

I no longer browse HN because it’s become so much like Reddit it’s pointless, but I suspect the comments are full of Agile purist bullshit that make every excuse for the experiences the author describes. It’s fascinating to witness such pointless tribalism.
