I understand his desire to leave tech (my name is "techxit"). Most people want out by the time they're 30. They realize that the job isn't about advancing the state of computer science or building useful things. It's…
Agile is terrorism for people who aren't technical enough to make bombs.
Donald Trump's campaign and the Silicon Valley scene are basically the same thing: High Frequency Experimental Assholery. You try things (in politics, nasty nicknames; in business, open-plan offices and "Agile"…
