It's truly amazing what can happen when they don't cut quite so many corners and release the minimal viable product.

If Agile consultant could read they'd be very upset

I really don’t like the word agile since everyone I ever met who had this in their job title was blowing up steam someones butt. Is that the job description or what is it with these agile types?

Agile used to refer to a very specific way of developing software, but then it got coopted by the mainstream where companies kept doing shit the same way they always had but calling it "agile". It's basically like when early Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire.

That’s a pretty cool comparison. Can you elaborate on that a bit? I have no idea what actually happened with christianity in ancient rome.

Yeah, every single workplace I've worked at aside from one has been "iterative waterfall" - AKA waterfall with sprints.

Companies shouldn't be allowed to say they're "agile"....
