As bad as both scrum and safe are, they’re miles better than the old waterfall methodology. At least with corporate agile you usually ship something.

- paulmooreparks 5y agoI don't really get this "waterfall" boogeyman. I started programming professionally in 1989, and I delivered a LOT of software for a few different companies before the Agile obsession hit. I had a quite a lot of freedom to modify the process depending on what the project called for. There were fewer corporate overlords worrying about whether I stuck to this or that process. There were certainly no Agile Coaches making sure I followed all the ceremonies of the "Agile Process" (that's a quote) or making sure I used story points instead of calendar time in my estimates. Making software is a lot less fun these days than in the "bad old days" of the alleged waterfall process.
