Useful history (This will bring out the haters, but ). Agile working methods date back to the early '80s & are a natural evolution of TPS/Lean from the '70s, sans the manufacturing part. The first shop I worked in out of school was agile (autonomous teams, frequent releases, etc.), though we didn't call it that.

The Agile Manifesto came along in 2001. It was meant to be a snapshot of what a handful of practitioners had been doing for a decade or more—that's it. We've been learning over the past 20 years, but the underlying thinking is still solid. I've a more modern take at https://holub.com/heu.

Kent Beck's "Extreme Programming Explained" was published around the same time, and it was more influential than the Manifesto. However, the techniques were truly extreme in the CMMI corporate world of the time. Many smaller shops saw the goodness and jumped on XP, but the corporations shied away in horror, discounting it as nonsensical.

XP was the first Agile process that anybody had ever heard of. It dominated the landscape, and nobody paid any attention at all to Scrum during that period. Scrum was not practiced anywhere I knew of, at least.

Then the Scrum-industrial-complex PR machine kicked into gear with their certificates, and the corporations lapped it up. Scrum was initially marketed with "Most executives today are not happy with their organization's ability to deliver systems at reasonable cost and time frames." That quote is on the back cover of Schwaber and Beedle's Agile Software Development with Scrum [2002], the first book on Scrum that was widely read. The blurb also says, "Learn how to simplify XP implementation through a Scrum wrapper." XP was first by their own admission.

The certificate mills Scrum-was-first myth gives it legitimacy & an air of implied superiority, but that's complete BS. Scrum was just a handful of teams and academic papers for years after XP. When the OOPSLA paper was published in 1995, many of us had been working in "Agile' ways for a decade or more, and the paper inspired zero industry adoption. Same for Takeuchi and Nonaka's excellent "The New New Product Development Game" [1986, http://tinyurl.com/nxapmmx]. The Scrum described in that paper has little resemblance to Scrum as currently practiced.

The corporations drawn to certification snake oil are also deeply impacted by Larman's Law. They implemented Scrum as what they were already doing but with new names. E.g., there's no Project Manager role in Scrum, but you find it in virtually every corporate "Scrum" shop. This whitewashing transmogrified Scrum into the putrid steaming mass it is now. That, in turn, dragged Agile (which those corporations were always, and still are, inimical to) down with it.

So, the original Agile thinking and practices are still great ways to build software, but they've been buried under a heap of corporate excrement, too smelly for anybody to be interested in excavating to find the gold underneath. It's too bad, really.

If any of you weirdos really like tests and writing regex, the VS Code CSS highlighter is very broken with modern CSS, many of which are blocked on not having tests

Just 4 lines of CSS

View Transitions are great for changing pages

BUT it's incredible for animating any changes to the DOM

(Btw there are ways to argue against too, e.g. globalization destroyed a large amount of pre-existing variance. That I can travel to the other side of the Earth just to be surrounded by KFC, Louis Vuitton, Apple stores, Starbucks, and people who drive a Toyota and drink Coca Cola, that more people speak English, that we probably watch similar tv shows and listened to similar music, etc.)

The future expands the variance of human condition a lot more than it drags its mean. This is an empirical observation with interesting extrapolations.

The past is well-approximated as a population of farmers, living similar lives w.r.t. upbringing, knowledge, activities, ideals, aspirations, etc.

The future trends to include all of:

- the transhumanists who "ascend" with neuralinks etc., and the Amish living ~19th century life.

- those who "worship" ideals of religion, technology, knowledge, wealth, fitness, community, nature, art, ...

- those exploring externally into the stars, those exploring internally into minds (drugs++), or those who disappear into digital VR worlds

- those who date a different partner every day and those who are monogamous for life

- those who travel broadly and those who stay in one location their entire life

- those in megacities and those off-the-grid

For almost any question about a dimension of human condition, the answer trends not to any specific thing but to "all of the above". And to an extreme diversity of memetics. At least, this feels like the outcome in free societies that trend to abundance. I don't know what it feels like to live in such a society but it's interesting to think about.

Yes, this is right. When you can take on work that means growth: it's when things can be professionally rewarding (even if financially not necessarily immediately). More work on the same work... unless you can automate some of it...

There are two ways to look at this:

1. "It's unfair! I get more responsbilities but not more pay."

2. "Pretty cool: I'm at an organization where I can take on more responsiblities, and grow+develop professionally, doing it very quickly."

#2 is the growth mindset and (cont'd)

When I was just starting out in tech, I was taking thoughts posted by "famous" people in tech at face value. It was much later that I gained the experience to know that they don't apply for my context and situation.

It's all contextual, and most those thoughts are just opinions.
