Yeah: as a result of doing small-a-agile for a while. Not at the start. I guess if the point is that agile doesn't work for incompetent teams because teams become much more competent through agile, then I'll concede the point.

Thanks! > I'm not smart enough to NOT keep it simple Yeah, sometimes I feel that most of my "amazing architecture skills" is not understanding what 90% of that stuff is supposed to do or why, and hey, maybe we can just do

In most of the industry "Agile" is just "doing waterfall really quickly", and for some reason nobody understands you have to stand during your daily micromanagement meetings. It's a farce.

You are projecting your unfounded fear of nuclear onto me. I am not "afraid" of renewables in the least. I know their limitations. And I know that nuclear works. Despite your rants that have nothing to do with the facts.

So why are the Swedes investing heavily in nuclear energy again, after nixing the nuclear exit they had on the books?

Or anywhere where you actually build them in any quantity. France built 50+ reactors in 15 years. Their entire nuclear industry cost just €228 billion.

HPC is 2 EPR reactors. At their design CF they will produce 25 TWh per year. Over the expected operating life of 80 years that will be 2000 TWh. At the $400/MWh you are postulating, that would be €800 billion of income. Although I am

On the whole, nuclear power has saved many more lives, over 1.8 million up to 2011. https://www.giss.nasa.gov/pubs/abs/kh05000e.html And the worst power-production disaster in history so far was neither Fukushima
