>(Back in those days this is how programmers worked, there was no “agile” and “daily stand ups”, everyone understood that things take time. I miss those days very much)

Hear, Hear! As much as I think Agile is an improvement over more misused software development models, I still prefer working on my own time at my own pace the best.

Very excellent story.



In my experience over the last 5 years: Agile isn't.


Agile is like any other development process, past and future: one set of people making sure that some other set of people do things the way the first set has had some perceived success with, according to some definition of perceived and success.


Not really. I've had some form of so-called "Agile" processes thrust upon me by people who didn't have any prior experience with it. All they did was read and article or a book or attended some 1-day course on it.


But agile (well scrum) is about working at your own pace.

Measure your velocity to predict delivery times.

Not push yourself to hit required (i.e. hoped for) delivery.
