Agilists? What has this to do with a preferred way of working?


Mostly a slang in brazil meaning people that use agile methods in ways to avoid real work. Not related to the agile manifest.


I don't thing the Berlin scene per se is "Mickey Mouse" but there are a lot of companies that grew to fast with a insane amount of money. A lot of times the founders were installed as CEO and had little to none experience regarding leading a business.
