Linus Torvalds Asks Kernel Developers To Write Better Git Merge Commit Messages

[reba]

I know what agile means, I was just telling you how I see it "implemented". We don't even have clients in the sprint demo, they barely have an idea about what's coming.

That's ... bad. For everyone. Whoever is responsible should be educated or swapped out, they are a danger for the project and the company. Sorry, mate.

>Those who do, decide
Well, I kind of disagree. Everyone has some specialization and is unmatched in a specific field. It is very uncommon for someone to be procificent in all trades.
That's why we at work have a team of specialists working together.

The meritocracy statement ("those who do, decide") is not about delineating one specialist from another (such as coder and documenter); it is about delineating specialists from the heckling peanut gallery.
