If you run a machine too hard it gets hot, oil breaks down, parts grind and wear faster and need maintenance more often.
There is all this “humanity” stuff in agile software development because the way people stress, overheat, and break down is less obvious.
Only a few days left until vacation. Having great fun at work now. But vacation will still be needed.

A headline in a Finnish newspaper, translated into English:
"Midsummer is a great time to enjoy delicious homemade sausages: all you need is a meat grinder, a friend, and a willingness to experiment"
I know what you're going for, it's not like you're wrong, but, uh.
Phrasing.

Dear people citing The Bible:
It’s a cool book with some wonderful passages but it also has ghost sex & giants & super babies & demons. It’s why we don’t make laws based on Game of Thrones, My Little Pony or Legend of Zelda.

The gap between
"Here's what worked for us"
and
"Here's what you should do"
is often
perceived as tiny
but is usually
absolutely
massive.

Why do developers try to appear more intelligent or skilled by tearing other ideas down? Wouldn’t an intelligent or skilled developer take a less-than-good idea and build around it? Or even better, build a bridge to a better place?
Back at work after 2 lovely days @agilasverige. Have already started playing around with @Funkifyplugin, a disability simulator that was mentioned in a talk. It's really great!

Blockers are sometimes due to bad mgmt decisions. They'd rather say agile doesn't work than fix it. ^ @ofortier

"agile doesn't work in all companies, just accept it" ...
*vigorous nods in the audience*
I suspect these peoples agile and my agile are different things. Or there's orgs out there where humans aren't fundamental to the business.
