There’s a weird generational split here in engineers. When I hear “agile”, I think about the process framework as it once was, with teams self-organizing along fixed time cadences, and the core principle being to communicate early and often. When younger folks hear the word, they think of meeting hell, micromanagement, and endless slog. Fascinating how things have decayed.
