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:
This a fucking stretch and a half.
Agile was a trade union movement from a bunch of late boomer and gen xers with severe anti union brainworms. Lean manufacturing was Taylorism taken to an entirely new psychotic level by Toyota, then imported into the software world and grafted onto the agile movement.
In the hands of capital like taylorism they're used to squeeze labor. In a communist world they'll be used to maximize what we all contribute.

Ye interesting parallels they draw but to suggest one from the other is.ridiculous in their historical contexts
