Why Scrum Is Stressing You Out
- beretguy 2y ago> Programming today is stressful — way more stressful than I remember it in the 90s and early 2000s when I was just starting out. > I don’t think it’s due to stiff competition, shifting markets, or even tight deadlines—those have always existed. But one significant change has occurred in my daily work routine: I’ve been forced to start working in sprints (usually 1-2 weeks) instead of spending larger chunks of time on larger projects. I disagree that scrum is the problem. I think companies simply started to exploit people more. Forcing to do more work, giving less benefits, less time off, less job security, etc. And it’s harder to find jobs because they get outsourced to Asia, Europe, etc. at $10k-$30K salaries.
