Actually agile is supposed to be a disruptive process that enables upward change but we keep doing it all wrong squeezing features out our asses when we should be making organizational changes.
We should all know we're trying to change them and help each other, how else?
Tell me you've never tried and failed due to "politics" but have you ever stuck your neck out even a little?
- zepto 6y agoYour last question seems like a personal attack which is against HN guidelines. I was responding to your claim that it was illegitimate to quit in protest, and that people should stay and change organizations from within. Given this belief, I assumed you might have some insight you have about how to do this effectively. Maybe even examples of when it has been done?
- artsyca 6y agoOh c'mon when someone rage quits in protest these corporations have safeguards in place to prevent rogue actions. I'm surprised they didn't trigger a visit from the thought police given the high profile and instead let a potential bad actor remain on the premises a whole extra week? And yes all our energies should be towards changing the organizations, as systems professionals, rather than competing on "look what I can do" while the world outside our gated communities crumbles.
- zepto 6y agoCan you actually point to a success story in changing an organization from the inside?
- artsyca 6y agoIt's already happening within Facebook this gallant lad falling on his own sword was an important motivator I'm sure https://www.theverge.com/interface/2020/6/3/21278233/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-walkout-employee-meeting-leaked-audio https://www.theverge.com/interface/2020/6/3/21278233/mark-zu...
