Agile is Dead
summary
Argues that agile is dead because the Agile Manifesto’s adjective becomes a sellable noun, spawning certification mills and corporate frameworks (example ad: "Stop Thinking & Get Certified Today") and bloated scaling diagrams that cash in on fear. Demonstrates a practical alternative: a three-step loop — understand, take a small step, evaluate — plus the PID controller example (pendulum robot using proportional–integral–derivative) as a concrete control strategy, and critiques testing dogma and Ruby community coverage obsessions.
