@hiiaminfi @designthinkingcomic Waterfall offers a very compelling proposition: I will learn extensively and execute things knowingly.

Agility demands humility: I will do my best and learn from it, over and over again.

And god damn it, people love the hubris of waterfall.

@slotos @designthinkingcomic it’s not hubris in the model, it’s in the promise: Clean transfer, stayed within budget, delivered on time.

(None of this is part of waterfall - it’s just what gullible people buy after they heard a pitch)

@hiiaminfi @slotos @designthinkingcomic having said that - none of all of the agile couches told me how to do agile on infra projects; We will see how many servers and how much ram we need when we get there - what can go wrong?;)

@DMTomas @slotos @designthinkingcomic next thing your gonna tell me is that they asked you to screw heatsinks in with a hammer

I am sure there is a metaphor in there but some business peep told me we don’t need metaphors any longer no that we have ChatGPT.
