Less waste literally means making things faster. See the problem with agile? All the jargon and stories that the agile tribesman like to build upon simple things.

Spot on, in my opinion we need at least a 10 years ban on the creation of any new web framework of any kind. Hope that AI coders will make frameworks obsolete, but maybe i'm crazy :-).

There are countless of solutions that try to do this, both official and non official, both at package and repository level, npm from NodeJS comes with a security audit tool for example, and most code hosting solutions nowadays have at least

Probably they know their own technology well enough to understand that it's not really fit for purpose, still they will try to sell it anyways to stupid corporate CEOs.

You can find this mentality in companies of any size, even if it's probably more common in medium to big sized companies. Point is that in general people that are upper in the chain are usually pretty self-important and see themselves

Hybrid work is totally fine, most big companies are globally distributed anyways so it can't be avoided, my team for example in in other parts of the world so what do i get by being 100% in an office where i don't know anybody and

Upper management just wants people that can be easily controlled, that will follow orders, and that don't create problems or complain. Middle management might care more about performance/skills, but the higher you go the more thos

It is safe to assume that every big internet/data/telco company from big nation states has some kind of relationship with national intelligence agencies, dating back from the 60s at least, if we just talk about the modern informat

Unfortunately good leadership is so rare that it's not worth having the entire category just to retain the 1 in a million good leaders.

We do that, especially in big companies, because management needs metrics, meetings and things like that to keep themselves occupied and relevant.

In modern, tech-enabled knowledge industries managers aren't leaders, they are just a waste of money that could instead go to the people actually getting things done.

Unfortunately people in 2023 still don't understand this very simple fact, and that's why we constantly have to prove our "value" to the world for no reason at all XD.
