Cool animations. Does anyone know how they made those animations? Or did they do it with vanilla JS/CSS/HTML?

Re:Salmon-ladder development is not the way to do agile

It is a problem I've seen in the real world.
For example, I've seen a project where upper management tasked a team of developers with writing software and didn't give the team specific direction nor did they communicate clear goals for the software. The team asked for more details, and the management told them to "do it agile". The team wrote good software, but they solved the wrong problem.

How did you come to that conclusion? The theme of what I was saying is that projects to be given direction from the stakeholders. I never said anything to suggest that the direction couldn't change.

Forgive my ignorance. What do Rust and Go call their data structures that are analogous to classes?

I agree with you in that I don't agree with the author. I felt that the strongest point of the paper was that it was critical of something that is assumed to be a good thing. That value was that it challenged one of my assumptions that I had never questioned.
