Agile is good and I like it. Most people have a hard time with it though, for whatever reason, and thus, don't really implement the methodology well. Eventually, they are no longer practicing Agile anymore, and they are back to their old habits.
I have used Rally for managing our user stories and defects.

I find they're the best habits to have. One is so much more comfortable with them.

I work across multiple teams running scrum and kanban, mostly it works well and I quite like it as long as the people working on it are pragmatic and stick to core principles instead of religiously sticking to the text book. We're using Team Foundation Server for backlog management, boards etc...

I'm pretty much identical to you. Multi teams, Scrum, TFS, pragmatic, generally like it...

Every day we have a meeting where we are not allowed to say anything of substance. Even though I tell them everyday I do not need help I have to say that every day now I just say something like did this, no road blocks no help needed.
Then once a week we have a session where everything that was said that morning is repeated.
We pay large money for a certified scrum master who would not know an html document from a squirrel.
No credit is ever given to the developer and at one point we were told that everyone is a developer. Therefore no one is a developer.
Hate is far to weak.
Scrum means take your coding time away from you.
The BA designed the lay out of an ASPX page and demanded that the labels for the radio button list be above the buttons.
The purpose of the agile team is to stop the development of software and deprecate developers.

Well, building it is.
I am quite surprised at how easy Python is to build. Run a batch script then open the solution file and build. That's it.
It would be nice if all open source projects were this easy to build/use.
The only hiccups I have had are the batch files for Python 2.7.9 failing with newer TCL/TK versions, so I had to run the nmake commands manually.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

You mean building the compiler?

Yup. Building the Python Compiler/Interpreter/Runtime/etc. It just works™.

WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India
into a SOVEREIGN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and
to secure to all its citizens:
JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all
FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity of the Nation;
Constitutions tend to be just so much hot air. I suppose there's a reason you didn't post this in the Soapbox.
I guess it's the ideal that counts, eh?

Well, if it happened in Russia, it would be an alien brain implant.

Quote: Mrs Easton, 77, who lives in Buckinghamshire, had taken Steve to hospital at the age of seven or eight, suspecting he had swallowed the sucker from the dart.
...
"I was really worried so I took him to hospital and they X-rayed him and checked everything and they couldn't find it."
x-rays to look for a piece rubber. I wonder if the local quacks also regularly prescribed penicillin for colds or the flu.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
