First forget the Scrum analogy -- the situations are in no way comparable, for the simple fact that your child is nowhere near cognitively able to process the feedback loops (let alone corrective actions) that go along any of these fancy de

There's no specific cut-off point. But it is beyond dispute that ageism is very real (if perhaps overstated as a career obstacle). The thing is, it's a nuanced issue (and rather different from other discriminatory -isms). What i

The thing is he never said "you shouldn't support founders over age X"; but rather "the cutoff in investor's minds is around age X", which is very different. BTW the quote is easily findable, and the value for

Privilege as a concept, and acknowledging what privilege one has, is what we’re discussing. Actually we were specifically discussing the "check your ..." phrase in current usage, expressed as an imperative. Not privilege as a

"I absolutely have said it ... but actually I've never said it"? "This is not a political discussion" when in fact it's about one of the most hot-button political topics ever devised? I'm lost.

But ads in real life do not prevent me from going on about my day. They do, in a suffuse, incremental but no less inexorable manner, in fact make "that place", "out there" -- meaning the city in which I live -- all the
