Thank you for writing up a concise text about the actual problem. While reading the article I consistently felt bothered by the terminology thrown around but couldn't really pin point why.

We really like to think in silos, categorize everything to make them feel familiar and approachable. Which is useful, but sometimes we need to shake them off so we can actually see the problems.

I agree exactly. A concept like "agile" is a great way of organising your own thoughts. Inventing words and concepts is a powerful tool. But... we have to remember that we invented them. They aren't real. That's easier when you invented them yourself.

After a while... it's like the cliché about taxi drivers investing in startups... Sign it's time to get out. When people I know have no idea start talking about the awesomeness of some abstract methodology... I'm out.
