This proves remote work is quality software engineering methodology. It results in higher quality, more throughput, and increased investment in Family. I approve. This means any org or management layer that enforce hybrid or in-office on the people who move code, system design, abstractions, product knowledge work, ux work...are contra Family. Those orgs need to collapse and those managers should be fired. This will happen no matter what - the orgs and managers that lean into the disruption and make the most of the new world will survive and increase their scale and scope. The ones who hold on to top-down force and methods of mind-control and mind-enslavement (Agile, Scrum) will no longer exist for long - any value those processes have will be automated into tools that respect engineers.

how is agile "mind control" or "mind enslavement" ? care to elaborate?

  it is a contagion affecting software development speed and quality by putting non-devs and non-engineers in charge of devs/engineers. it is more okay when someone who codes or engineers is in charge of running agile and how to run agile. when someone non-technical is a scrum master, run for the hills or perform as a 10x engineer until you can automate that person's functions enough that they no longer need to show up at your meetings and just become metrics-readers and team-hype-people for representing your team and not for caring too much about anything that isn't automated metrics and team health surveys from which meaningful ventures forward could be established such as perks and more attention to extracurricular needs if there are any. ayyyy Corporate family??? gotta take care of everyone more and get outta the way baby, we're moving code here and you're not! but yeah, 10000000% respect for hardcore startup engineering mentality where agile actually really does mean agile, and it means lean remote agile these days where it's asynchronous comms and as little live meeting bullshit as possible. Learn how to read and write or don't call it agile. be asynchronous or you're not agile enough for me.
