summary

Argues that measurable rituals and certifications often replace judgment and kill creativity, citing a waterfall-at-LexisNexis workflow, the agile Manifesto’s origin as a philosophy, and teams that end up doing waterfall with cards instead of real agility. Points to a 69% quip about made-up stats, a 1970s paper on LSD aiding system design, time spent on net and iOS work before finding Ruby at GitHub, and insists experiments that change how code is built and shared matter more than prescribed process.
