The premise behind the Agile Manifesto is that developers, the users they serve, and business stakeholders all benefit by working together. But too often, organizations are faking true change by plastering a new label on older software development practices. No True Agile does that

When interacting with today’s large language models (LLMs), do you expect them to be surly, dismissive, flippant or even insulting? You want Skynet? This is how we get Skynet.

I thought Craftsman tools did that a long time ago.
Oh, network router.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

And the Magic 8 Ball AI says... "invest every last bean in Microsoft".
Seriously, who's going to monitor the decisions made by the AI to make sure it's not "Gus Gorman-ing" the investments?

This was pretty much my career. With few exceptions, two things I always did out of necessity were:
1) Fix the build. I once started a new job where the build required running multiple batch files including using the Visual Studio command-line. I was told it was impossible to simplify it. In three weeks, I fixed the build to where there was one batch file with one line launching a VS build (because the entire thing could now be build in VS.)
At another company, various projects in the solution had wildly different settings including some DLLs statically linking the CRT and others dynamically linking it.
2) Crank warnings to most strict with a short list of exceptions and additions. At one job, the VS project built with over 2000 warnings at level 3! To find new warnings the previous team would do a diff on the output. Three of us moved the project to level 4 with no warnings. (What's amazing is how many of the warnings were about critical errors.)
