I haven't experienced that (yet?), but I can already tell by the name that I have a visceral hatred for it.
It's in the latest SAFe framework. Basically you have a planning and innovation sprint for a week or so after each PI. In a perfect world it would be cool, but for us we'd probably just keep working on delivery since it literally never ends and there's a million things in the backlog.

The obvious question here.

Wolf-Rayets are dope. I think they even once thought Eta Carinae could have been one for a while.

I'm thinking about getting a chameleon as an exotic pet.Thoughts?
Emotional support animal?

Uh, SAFe. Run, don't walk, away from that nonsense. SAFe is what you get when douchebags want to talk about being agile and nimble, but then want to scale it into a giant org with command & control by some fatass smoking a cigar at the top.

I have lots of great references of people making fun of SAFe., e.g.:

Work on delivery?? Have you tried shoving clearly broken products out the door like we do? It's a great recipe for fun and success for all involved.

Unfortunately your common Staten Island elementary school teacher named Andrea Marie or something generally isn't built like that :sigh:

I find it fascinating that the chemical elements that we exist of are born during those explosions. It’s so big that it’s impossible to comprehend. The Earth fits a 1,3 million times into the sun while this star is 30 times as big as the sun. The very big (the universe) and the very small (quantum) are just absolutely fascinating, it’s almost impossible to understand it. Massive respect for scientist who dedicate their life’s in understanding this.

Some fair points in there. I don't think there is any methodology that is perfect, and a lot of times you have to adapt to what works for the customer anyway. Having the SAFe certification is making me more money from the fatasses though, so it's a win for me.

Sure have. It's an incredible experience. Rushed an ERP system out the door in 6 months and nothing worked. It was all manual and was barely used. Waste of $$$$

Rule #1 is: always make money from the fatasses :juventus:

    Get a pet that will help you get laid
    He already owns a gun, that's better than any pet.

    Try a sugar glider, man. Mammals are so much easier. Ectotherms need heat lamps and timers and rocks and enclosures and shit.
