^ this is agile. at least "people first" - then its process and tools. Tools are last, because there are always new tools and the way you do something should be somewhat consistent within a team/org even if the tools aren't
While scrum/agile does not = more developers, it can be leveraged to actually grow a developer's career and skills when done well.
- rawgabbit 4y agoAs a technophile, I always disagree with that sentiment. Michelangelo cannot sculpt the Pieta with a sledgehammer and sticks. These days we need highly specialized tools to do our work. These highly specialized tools require specialized developers. The only alternative to this is low code/no code tools. Low code/no code is great for green field projects, as you can ensure a steady pipeline of such developers.
- pempem 4y agooh my. In a world of continously created saas pursuing bits of walletshare and department budgets endlessly I would say there is a small % of tools that are specialized and uniquely required. There's also a TON of tools that are preference based selection. Michelangelo sculpted with one set of tools and painted with another. Klimt may have had some overlap with one and none with the other set. Neither was being doggedly pursued by salespeople or having decisions about tools made by their bosses. IMO: Its not an apt metaphor in the slightest.
