Agile destroys any software project it’s allowed to touch by sabotaging development of early architecture through the “it must fit into two weeks” mandate and other assorted short-termist practices.

But the F-35 was already a shitshow, because the aircraft itself was designed using agile, though the Pentagon called it “concurrency” instead of calling it “agile”. Concurrency (agile) was also used for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), which produced a similarly disasterous, unreliable four-assed monkey that neither the Chinese nor the Russians would ever take seriously.
