For me, even the name "sprint" just instantly
pressures me to feel rushed in my work and I
hate everything about this religion.
While I think Scrum is a small step forward relative to the chaotic nightmares I've generally experienced in this industry, I wholeheartedly agree with this criticism of the term.
"Sprint" makes zero sense as a term. By sheer definition, in the real world you cannot sprint all the time. In fact you can only sprint for a very short time. Perhaps less than 1% of your waking hours.
And yet, in agile, we are supposed to be "sprinting" all of the damn time. There is only sprinting. There is nothing else but the sprint.
Dumb and probably harmful choice of terminology.
