Pretty much my take on both topics as well.
Agile’s being used here to avoid accountability. 1 major group is using it, and they just do whatever the hell they want and nothing ever works. It requires more discipline to work, not less.
Exactly. Goes along with the lower expectation of dressing for work. Granted I don’t think you should have to wear a suit to work (although I did for years and liked it) I am tired of seeing cargo shorts, bra straps, t-shirts with green slogans, pajama pants, all of your tats, flip flops and hair like you just got up. I like the relax work schedule environment but that doesn’t equate to dressing like you are at home.
Dressing nice for work even if you are not client facing instills a sense of pride and professionalism. Sadly software development has become the self-indulgent, rebelling against tradition generation. I call them “generation null”.
