Episode 20: AGILE Stockholm Syndrome

Welcome to the 1x Developer Podcast, where we tackle the elephant in the room: Why are we still using AGILE if everyone seems to hate it? Join us as we navigate the murky waters of modern project management with honesty, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism. Each episode features real developers sharing war stories from the trenches—from pointless ceremonies that eat up productive hours to the psychological toll of constantly estimating the inestimable. We explore the disconnect between AGILE's promises and its practice, question the industry's devotion to a methodology that often feels like bureaucracy in disguise, and search for practical alternatives that actually respect developers' time and sanity. Whether you're nodding along in silent agreement during standups or openly questioning your team's processes, this podcast is for the developers who value getting things done over talking about getting things done. No technical superiority complex required—just authentic conversations about surviving project management in today's software development landscape.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@1xDeveloperPodcastX/Twitter: https://x.com/1xDevPodcastEmail: [email protected]
