    Time for debt repudiation? Power grows from the barrel of a gun - and fedgov has a lot more guns than the banksters.

    Sounds about right. Scrum almost always produces poorly thought out, rushed, and therefore low quality software.

    But hey - it's Agile(tm), so when it inevitably sucks, that's because You Weren't Doing Agile Right(tm)!

    Any judge who has ever accepted a plea bargain - ever - needs to be barred for life from public service. Coerced false confession is supremely immoral and un-American. There can be no excuse for it. The people must call the judicial oligarchy to account.

    The semi-official media euphemize this as a "plea bargain". But I prefer the more old fashioned term: coerced false confession.

  11. Looks like a typical fedgov persecution: crucify a pleb and ruin his life, while letting the bigger & harder to catch criminals walk free.

    Their victim refused to cooperate with coerced false confession, so now they are going on a fishing expedition to find more unrelated and victimless "offences" he may have committed.

    But hey boys & girls, it's all okay, 'cuz it's DUH LAW.

  13. New theory:

    Slashdot, because it has the most sophisticated and robust moderation system of any major internet forum, has become a sort of R&D battleground for the rapidly evolving art of information warfare.

    All the major and many of the minor geopolitical players have their 50 cent armies marshalled here. Yet many of us civilians - of varying degrees of disinterestedness - also remain.

    It is our "hearts and minds" that the information warriors seek to win.

    Agile - as actually practiced at almost all "agile" companies - is just cowboy coding with corporate death march work conditions tacked on.

    There's no true Agilist.

    Pretty much all Agile software projects crank out low quality code, have lots and lots of bugs, accrue shittons of tech debt, treat users as the QA team, and generate extreme job dissatisfaction and attrition among the programmers. But it's not because of Agile - it's because they're not doing Agile right!

    Corollary: no one at all, ever does Agile right.
