This classic Yegge piece is almost 16 years old now and seems to describe more or less the same thing https://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/09/good-agile-bad-a

  Phenomenal article, but I'm frustrated by his focus on Google, because it implies that you can only do 'Good Agile' when you have more money than God and no deadline. Although, perhaps that was his point.

    In that timeframe a lot of his blog posts related to the experience of moving to Google - eg comparisons with Amazon etc. It's now apparent that Google is both very a different place in recent years, AND that all the "Good Agile" stuff from 15 yrs ago kinda screwed most of their products and reputation long term.

  One part of that post that hasn't aged well is the praise Google's launch culture got. 15yrs of hindsight later and it has probably become the biggest product pathology cliche identified with Google.
