Agile peaked with Extreme Programming and paper story cards, since then all that seems to have happened is the adoption of more tools/process that missed the whole point of it. The most productive project I ever worked on followed that method - but it's very hard to scale up.

I worked somewhere where we dumped our (very complicated) 'agile' tracking tool and went back to cards, and productivity increased, people actually communicated. We did eventually add in JIRA, to support remote team members but banned 'customization', 'workflows' and all the things that actually get in the way of being an Agile team.

The most bizarre App Store rejection I’ve seen was for a TV app which was rejected by Play for ‘Policy Violation’ without much explanation… After several rounds of resubmissions and emails it turned out the problem was some channels on it were in 4:3 (not widescreen). Google required we add a ‘warning’ to the App Store description that it contains 4:3 content!

Try using Cloudflare R2 with zero egress and you'll rapidly discover there are lots of 'gotchas'... - Want to use a cloudflare managed domain - pay for egress if you have enterprise account - Want to use their 'dev' domain - rate limited

It's still a good service - but zero egress comes with conditions. The only exception I've found is Cloudflare pages which seems genuinely zero egress (as long as you don't proxy it through a managed domain).
