Well, there is Mesquite and then there is [west texas] “mesquite”.
One doesn’t put on airs about how “texas” it is.

I have no idea how I got into this conversation. 😂
Look out your office window.
Everything you see, that could be termed a “tree”, is mesquite.
The Kaizen/Agile approach is here to stay. No one actually “sprints”. Scrum as a methodology continues to grow. It’s not always the solution, but it is for ongoing enhancements that require frequent releases (we do at least one a week on an internal application). Waterfall methods are all but extinct in the very large company I work for. Agile has been around for 15 years and is being adopted by large organizations at a steady pace.
excellent
The only part he missed is that they worship satan.
“ No one actually “sprints”.”
Actually they do.
Not in the literal sense of course, but you are always “sprinting” to the next release. It’s just not sustainable to constantly be under so much pressure. That’s one reason why your people are starting to fail at it which is causing you to worry about being held responsible.
It’s a fine methodology but not every challenge is a nail in need of the sprint hammer. People have been developing things forever, and the short 15 years that sprints have been around is a pittance. Even the name is tiring after a while. There will be another whiz-bang development methodology coming down the pike and you’ll see everyone hop on board, just like they always do. I’m hoping it happens after I retire.
BTW both my wife and I are in IT. I’m in systems, she’s in development. We’ve been doing this for years and are very familiar with it all.

From what I read last night, the big case was not filed yet because they need more State AGs on board.
Just read an anecdote of another heart issue directly due to the jab. A friend from work told of her step-father getting the second Pfizer jab at his place of employment (a furniture company/government contractor). Immediately after the Jab, he was taken by ambulance from the place of employment (where the jab was administered) with chest pains, extreme blood pressure and in/out of consciousness. The management at the company he works for downplayed the religious exemption as a legit means of getting out of being forced to take the poisonous jab.
I’d be willing to bet that anybody in line to get jabbed behind him decided at that moment that they didn’t want it after all. At least anybody with half a brain.
Why yes, yes I have!
Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck...
Rush with the true story of Thanksgiving.

It is totally sustainable. I’ve had teams that are still going and highly efficient and self-organizing. There is more to Agile than just sprinting. Most organization have what are called PI’s (program iterations) that are usually quarterly. The last sprint is used for planning for the next PI and gives developers a rest and an opportunity to do some training.
My people are starting to fail because of vaccine injury - brain cloud. They aren’t the same as they were pre-vax. There’s no two ways about it. This is a mature team and they are making mistakes left and right. Our Product Owner was recently in the hospital for blood clots in her brain. That didn’t help at all.
Agile has been around for 15 years and continues to grow exponentially. Certainly it has branched off into different methodologies like Kanban, LeSS SAFe, XP etc, but the core concept remains. Small self organizing teams with servant leadership is the way to go. It works as long as there is a rest period. If the team focuses on the tasks in front of them, they can be successful.
There are many IT industries that MUST have frequent releases (like my former employer AT&T with 30 million sets of eyes every day). A waterfall approach is woefully inefficient for that. Teams need to be nimble navigators.
But, not every organization is suitable for Agile/Scrum for sure. I’ve argued both sides a many a time. And yes, there will be another shiny bill of goods to come down the pike that the brass will be dazzled by. Common work areas are one part of Agile/Scrum that has got to go. Thank goodness we’re all work from home. Productivity is way better in the virtual setting. Availability is better, distractions are minimized, and no one bitches about the commute.
which requires residents to wear masks in private settings, including homes
****************
“including homes”....???????????
It’s strange seeing people wearing masks while driving cars alone, but I see it happening. It is also strange seeing people joging and walking alone along sidewalks wearing a mask.
This is in Florida, where except going into a doctors office, or an airport, we don’t have restrictions. Some businesses (national brand) still have signs up about wearing masks if not “fully vaccinated”, but most are ignoring this.
Happy Thanksgiving, to all Freeqs and people of good will, everywhere.
“I’m wondering if people are getting Covid—or something else.
Sounds like cases of what an old co-worker (ex Red Air Force) referred to as Socialist Flu: “They pretend to pay me and I pretend to work”.
Only difference now is “They pretend they’ll ALLOW me to stay here and.......”
(Not much incentive to produce, eh?)”

I don’t think you’re following the original content subject. Think along the lines of folks that have “disappeared” from work AND home...
Just remember, now that it’s Black Friday...
Santa Clots is coming to town!
