I’m with you on this one, that reads like a circlejerk par excellence. Let’s claim “agile” is at fault - and he might be right if he just defines it as corporate silo feature factories.

But he somehow missed the fundamental of what he means when he uses that word. This way it’s just a “we’re cool, the rest isn’t” - the most boring kind of tribalism.

Instead of baking a cake it’s “to write an app you first need to create a universe”.
