It's perverted by the companies first and secondarily by the consultants as the enablers. Most companies have never cared and do not care for anything agile or anything manifesto. For them Agile™ is nothing but a brand name and a weapo

I've noticed the same thing. I think it comes from a lack of experience which further creates fear and lack of self-confidence to challenge the practices of the cult. It's also similar to the "nobody got fired for buying IBM&

I think another factor is also that the internet has lost some of its novelty and innocence that it had back then. In those early days people were still used to web pages being static lifeless documents. It was magical to be able to interac

It is condescending and it says more about your company than anything else. It roughly says "we are so hopeless with the quality of our pipeline of candidates and assessments that we have to make sure you can do FizzBuzz".

> Would you be offended by this Yes > some people have cookies disabled This is a myth. Anyone disabling cookies knows what they are signing up for. Guess what if you "disable HTML" the web is not going to work either.

What is this ancient desire to be rich? It's the same ancient desire to hunt and survive. With money you can hunt. Without it you will be hunted. When you don't have money you become the subject of the force and influence of those

I don't know exactly what's going on but it may have something to do with referrer spam. Those URLs may have appeared somewhere else or in some other way fed into Googlebot.

You underestimate the difficulty and complexity of that problem. I'm increasingly seeing this annoying trend of people hand waving about how a given problem can be solved with data/AI/ML/DL.

The part that I said wasn't entirely worthless was about those problem statements that are very specific and niche (I was contrasting that to the worthless ones). Basic example, "People want more tasty Pizza", "People wa

> The value of such feedback is that it lets you know there is a problem where you can potentially offer a better solution. I agree there are some cases when that may work but my point is that they are very very rare from what I can see.

Sure but I don't see where the value of such feedback is. You can find lots of comments anywhere about how any one product sucks. Many of them will be 10+ year multi-million companies with hundreds or thousands of employees. It's

In general I think they make more money from the ads. These giants are also increasingly becoming so powerful that they leave people nowhere else to go. With that leverage they don't have to treat you and me all that well.
