Some interesting observations in this. As much as agile/lean practices have suffered from semantic diffusion to the point that they’re meaningless in most companies, reading this and thinking about the places I’ve worked that do those things properly is kinda :thinkin-lenin:
That’s wild to see Goldman Sachs used to money launder donations to an ML party :sicko-beaming:
Here’s a good basic intro to lean wastes as applied to software.
I feel like I have a post in me some day about how venture backed startups and their incentive structures inherently prevent the notion of “building quality in”. This inevitably leads to a literal ponzi scheme of technical debt, curtailing the period in which a company can be innovative, with folks hired later stuck in a position of simply trying to keep the ship afloat. Which I guess is showing that learning about and applying lean has properly revealed some contradictions to me! :comfy-cool:
