Agile/Scrum, ISO 9001, ITIL, Six Sigma, CMMI, etc; it's all cargo cults.

I've seen cargo thrown around a few times. What is that?

I love doing big capital projects and spending literally millions of dollars in developer hours just for senior leadership to change their minds after the fact and not want any of what we just built!

Awfully true.

The tool that doesn't exist anywhere else is so true. I had a boss that insinuated I was inexperienced because I didn't know his specific internal process (which was complete nonsense because he is literally illiterate and cannot read or write).

When I politely corrected him that this was my second job in this specific industry he paused before continuing to ramble as if I'm some intern when I was with the company for 3 years in a midlevel role.

Same guy who once gave me a 30 mins lecture about how much he wants women like me and his daughter to succeed and "have a voice", literally without letting me insert more than 1 word the entire time.
