Computer programming is iteratively discovering that you should actually be working on some other part of the code first.

Agile/Scrum fails because project management is 100x less dynamic about what you need to be working on than a good programmer is.

I've never been on an agile software project where the PO wasn't a good programmer and the developers don't plan the sprint. 🤷‍♀️

I find I have to switch direction many times per day, constantly re-micro-prioritizing. I guess my point is more that I don't know how to do that in a team environment where priority is supposed to be managed as a group.

Hmmm... Sounds like you haven't had enough intellectual freedom within the projects you've worked on.

I've been before and it sucks. Agile is great but needs to be flexible and done right.

I like something between Xtreme Programming and Kanban.

Probably less about flexibility than about trusting that everyone's incentives are aligned.

High-trust teams tend to be chill about programming detours.
