The waterfall bogeyman agile types conjure up honestly sounds like such a nice way to work.

You get requirements that don't change and you get time to implement them without bullshit status meetings interrupting?

When did we decide that was a bad thing? And how did we get brainwashed into thinking agile was better for ICs?

Is this the one where we have all the Agile gymnastics, but we're still locked into a featureset and a timeframe by management, or the one where we do 2-week waterfalls and call them sprints?

To be honest, I'm usually in a purely reactive mode most of the time. Planning what work I'm going to even do tomorrow is not really possible, until I see what crap has been landed on my calendar overnight...
