In my experience the further away from fierce commercial factors, the greater the tendency towards cargo-cultism. Hiring for roles in government related work in the UK is awash with acronyms and buzzwords, as if it's the case that with enough methodology and certifications we can regulate failure away. Problem is: things still seem go wrong in all the same old ways despite all the latest greatest fancy new techniques. But hey, all our developers are TOGAF certified these days, so that's something!
- james_s_tayler 7y agoFor some reason I read "methodology" as "mythodology" and I thought "That's genius! That's the perfect portmanteau to describe the phenomenon of people trying to learn and adhere to 'methodology' but then really just adhering to the lore and the myth! I'm stealing that!" Then I read it again and it didn't say that. But I think that should become a new word. Mythodology.
