misunderstanding and misusing “agile” principles by doing it wrong and helping others do it wrong. Through this work we have come to conclude that we should have: Manadatory devops tools to enforce individuals and interactions. Infrastructure as code, with little or no documentation. Naive trust supported by hand-wavey verbal agreements. No plan at all, because we’re “lean” and “agile” hipsters.
