From the blog post:
> And, unfortunately, I think time has proven me right. The word “agile” has been subverted to the point where it is effectively meaningless, and what passes for an agile community seems to be largely an arena for consultants and vendors to hawk services and products.
> So I think it is time to retire the word “Agile.”
> I don’t think anyone could object to a ban on the word when it is used as a noun. That’s just plain wrong. “Do Agile Right” and “Agile for Dummies” are just two of the innumerable attacks on the English language featuring the word. They are meaningless. Agile is not a noun, it’s an adjective, and it must qualify something else. “Do Agile Right” is like saying “Do Orange Right.”
- slowmovintarget 9y agoI've been cringing at nearly every comment in this thread using the word as a noun. 90% of the capital A processes I've seen are actually the degenerate cases of Scrum where the company has simply encoded crunch-time into a standard practice.
