#introduction Studied biology as a youth. First computer I touched was a PDP 11. Entrepreneured until I got it dot bombed out of me. Did most of the jobs there are in software development. Currently a soon to retire scrum master. Fart around with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc. Mostly just burning my fingers with a soldering iron. Words of wisdom, "Get off my lawn!"
@lePetomaneAncien do you know any jokes about scrum masters?
@engelbart Not really but here are a couple videos worth a chuckle or two.

@lePetomaneAncien i like the joke that one company taught a parrot to say "when ready" and by this closed 10 positions of scrum masters.
Silly, but i laugh every time.
No offense intented.
@engelbart agile with scrum, when done right, delivers on its promises -- shippable software every two weeks. It does not scale beyond small teams and relatively simple products. It does not work when management measures productivity beyond any measure other than shipping products. It does not scale to large organizations with competing internal goals, e.g. multiple products competing for resources. Blah, blah, blah. In short, it doesn't work well in the real world -- which is why I'm so looking forward to retirement at the end of the year.
Although I will say that, properly written, user stories are an excellent way to write specifications.
@lePetomaneAncien thank you.
I worj in IT for more than 20 years , and I've never seen working scrum so far.
It doesn't mean that people are wrong, but i believe that something is deeply wrong with scrum itself.
