Keynote: Out from under the Thumb of Silicon Valley
summary
Argues that agile success depends on embodied skill or meatus learned by apprenticeship not checklists and that coaching supply grows linearly while demand explodes so teams get only brittle rules. Recommends faster loops: practice reflection-in-action, replace slow retrospectives with immediate experiments, split pair roles to detect surprises, and use the mikado method and aggressive throw away code cycles (delete-and-rewrite daily) to force learning; cites small teams and early XP as proof these approaches work.
