if I ever hear the word “agile” or “compliance” used unironically/non-sarcastically in a work setting, I quit

I have actually quit my previous job at Toyota because of Agile and Scrum (used in a form of “SAFe”) and all the other bullshit I couldn’t take anymore

working in such an environment as a builder just drains your soul, so I joined @ba and @cojo.eth at Ponder

feels good to be shipping again

Would you be up to sharing any high-level bullet points on how you all work at Ponder?

Right on, that sounds fantastic. As an agency, we don’t often get the flexibility we’d like defining how we work, but it’s imperative that we are always improving on whatever we do.  Gotta keep learning and tweaking. ￼￼

it's mostly the "Linear method" in a lightweight version. we work in weekly cycles, plan once a week what we want to ship/accomplish in any given cycle, then get crackin' and execute

if situation changes, we adapt easily without sunk-cost bias or regrets

also, we keep iterating on our methodology as we go
