I've held this stance on agile for a long time - it coincided with mainstream adoption of ssds, windows with memory protection and google search - all of which sped delivery despite agile, not because of agile.
Most were enjoying not having to stop whatever they were doing at whatever time a show was broadcast to watch it live on air - time shifting recorded TV was a game changer.
It's the same as all the Tesla subreddits, they ban and delete anything negative so casual readers don't get anything but a very biased and curated viewpoint.
Best thing about markdown is the barrier to entry of non technical folks, it stops them shitting over technical documentation and steers them to Confluence or sharepoint for their die on the vine slop.
I had a gravis ultrasound at the time and remember having to cut the reset signal line on the card.
I could then initialise the card in DOS and reboot into NT without it being reset and losing settings. Then some sketchy modified driver was able to use it.
