[10] THE BURN WARD (UNFILTERED COMPLAINTS)
* The stark reality of the role, scraped from Reddit, Blind, and anonymous career boards.
"Real world agile, is probably something that keeps management ocupied and they feel less useless and thus can justify their huge salaries to themselves and sleep better at night."
"Agile development is fading in popularity at large enterprises - and developer burnout is a key factor"
— r/agile
"This creates an environment of constant stress and friction, because teams try to work in an agile way (because it often is obviously the more useful choice for software development) but are trapped in an organization that constantly punishes them for making decisions in an agile mindset."
