I don’t know that every acronym is necessarily bad. DRY, KISS, SOLID etc. Yeah they’re buzzwords, but they serve a pretty useful function of constantly reinforcing objectively good behaviours that should be inherently obvious but often are not. That said, my argument falls apart with DevOps which is simply moving automation to more stages of your delivery (which is good) because it’s been utterly co-opted by snake oil salesmen and uppity gatekeepers. Seriously, the amount of exceedingly difficult but otherwise passable workers I’ve had to straighten out because they’ve mistaken having access control rights to work with the production environment with being in charge of the whole development process is utterly wild. (I’ve checked too, no-one has told them or lead them to believe this so I’m sure it’s A DevOps thing). And, you know, Agile. But it’s not an acronym so I’ll leave that rant out.
