all those things (agile etc) are better than working on waterfall style software with 5000 other programmers at microsoft and massive teams of PMs to coordinate it all. That was awful.
Oh, god. Here's the thing. You are the most right person on this entire page. Programming big projects in the days of yore was awful! It was AWFUL! And the worst part is that the whole waterfall thing is totally wrong. The original paper provided the waterfall as an example of how not to write software! Yet the whole industry suffered for thirty years. And still do, in some shops! Ugh!
