is not the fault of Scrum. That is the fault of a dyzfunctional corporate organisation [that uses "Scrum" as a pretext for anythin and everythin]

5) is your real problem. I agree with your comment about spending time in an endless meeting. I try not to do this with my staff.

I always try to add an extra bit of buffer to my estimates. That way I have that extra bit of time to deal with refactoring/technical debt issues. If I don't use it, it looks good to management that I am meeting or exceeding my estimates.

I try to do that, but when we go into sprint planning meanings where we point new stories, I always get overridden when I declare a high points value. I know more about the code base than anyone else working on it, and when I try to give a given task 100 points, then goddammit, it's because I know that chunk of code is complex (which all of our code seems to be). But we're pressured to underestimate the points value. Every time.
I hate agile/scrum.

I totally understand. This project I was working on, was a total ball of mud originally written by the "architect" of the system before I was brought in. In the previous sprint, I managed to sneak in a large refactoring start, but of course caught flack for that. But I've been pushing for a refactoring push for the past year, and we finally were given this last sprint to do a massive refactoring and code cleanup effort.
Of course, that's when I was transferred to another project/team. I have to wonder how this project I am leaving will now fare...

The apps I’ve been working on are all moving to a GOTS, so it doesn’t make sense to care anymore. Ticks me off…

Looks like clickbait to me, I ain't going there.

Not clickbait, quite an interesting part of the talk where he says that he feels bad for the destruction social media has inflicted on society.

Indians should adopt shorter western names. WTF is wrong with "John Smith"?

I have always thought that John Bull* would be most appropriate.😂
*John Bull used to be the quintessential English name in political cartoons.

Can the gross income of an ISP also be considered a net income?
|
|
|
|
|
Only if it has zero expenses and costs.
|
|
|
|

I think that went over your head. Looks like wordplay to me. Almost a good joke coming from a Norwegian. 
|
|
|
|
|
Only if the company does no work to earn the gross income.
I'll wait for y'all to recognize the brilliant pun there.

If the net income is pickled herring, then it is definitely gross income.
