I like your point about the idealists. IMHO, agile has some merits, rooted in psychology. For example, during stand up to say what your plans are for the day. Same for the sprint and quarter. It helps with communication. I don't like the thing where everything needs to be a deliverable thing. I'll poke my eyes out if I need to sit through another example of building a skateboard, scooter, bike, truck. Try that example with something real like a bridge or house. It ends up in a lot of throwaway work. Now try doing that in a highly regulated field like government or finance where you really can't iterate due to oversight and regulatory compliance.

Oops, this turned into a rant. Well at least agile pays the bills. There's a lot of money to be made in prolonging the problem.

The irony of posting a YouTube link to a comment thread that started with the person looking to degoogle is delicious.

Hello fellow OSM contributor! We've been doing driver's ed at home and while I'm in the passenger seat, I'm poppin' everything on Street Complete! The kid gets the required behind the wheel hours and I'm contributing to OSM.

I haven't heard that. I was told to make the bed (and wash your face before bed and don't sleep in the clothes you wore outside) from a pediatric allergist. It seems to be working, but it's not like I'm running any double-blind studies at home.

Making the bed keeps the pollen and other allergens away from where I put my face.

OK, so ambivalence. I'm lazy, I can get behind that. Also, I appreciate the work you're doing. I gave up years ago and am still labeled by my family as "the one who cares too much about things that don't matter."

I like this version of the TL;DR.

I know this is probably way off topic, but it made me think of Friendship is Optimal, especially the ending.

A nose flute, awesome! I have the opposite where I can blow air out the other way, but sometimes it will squirt out a stream of tears.

This is what I do anyways because I am too impatient to watch through 15 minutes of blah blah to reach the end and hear, "in my next video I'll actually show you how to dobthe thing that you came here to see."

Give me a decent web page with searchable text and a few pictures (if needed) and I'll be happy.

I'm sorry to hear that. I remember renting and the feeling of having no control over the whims of the landlord.
