The NE555 helped me get my first tech job in high school after I gave a presentation at a Nodebots community meetup. (It also, in some way, helped me land a job at Texas Instruments while I was in university during the COVID pandemic.) It was also the focus of the first tutorial I made for Instructables a few years ago. I always remember it fondly.
Agree with the post from a practical perspective, the funny part is from a theoretical perspective all the arguments saying “scrum is wrong” will be wrong… since it is an agile framework it will always have the open way to say “the core says this…” which is really dynamic and agile by nature.
Based on my experience, one of the main issues describing the problem in post is associated with ego and management status… a lot of people in those positions feel like they’re better, superior to engineers forgetting exactly that they should be waitresses for engineers… the core issue is the structure, status and power associated to management and business related positions
