Here's a video on YouTube making the case for why agile was an innovative methodology when it was first introduced 20 years ago.
However, he argues these days, daily scrums are a waste of time, and many organisations would be better off automating their reporting processes, giving teams more autonomy, and letting people get on with their work:
First, it's worth noting that many organisations that claim to be "agile" aren't, and many that claim to use agile processes don't.
Just as a refresher, here's the key values and principles from the agile manifesto: http://agilemanifesto.org/
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
Your workplace isn't agile if your team is micromanaged from above; if you have a kanban board filled with planning, documentation, and reporting tasks; if your organisation is driven by processes and procedures; if you don't have autonomous cross-functional teams.
Yet in many "agile" organisations, I've noticed that the basic principles of agile are ignored, and what you have is micromanagement through scrums and kanban boards.
And especially outside software development teams, agile tends to just be a hollow buzzword. (I once met a manager at a conference who talked up how agile his business was, and didn't believe me when I said agile was originally a software development methodology — one he revealed he wasn't following the principles of.)
Or if someone else is working in the same area of code as you. Typically not much of an issue on an individual team but it can happen across teams. We’ve gotten better about dividing things up but there are still times when working on an issue leads you to an area of the code base that isn’t obvious from the outset.
Avoiding merge conflicts altogether is the easier route when possible.
I think thread OP’s point about documentation is that you shouldn’t have dedicated items/tasks just for documentation. You’ve got to document as you go. I always come back at the end to clean up documentation but once a piece of code is complete and proven to work, I document it. Usually even adding in-line comments as I go.
No, and that would be very inefficient. If I have an issue during the day I just ask in our group chat and see who’s got an answer.
If there is a story about x and I end up making changes in y there’s a good chance I’m bringing that up in scrum. If the scrum master becomes aware of another team working on y they’ll tell us to talk to each other about it to make sure we aren’t stepping on each others toes.
Scrums are useful to make sure things are running smooth and keep your team on the same page. If you keep saying you’re gonna do x that day and after a few days you still haven’t done it, it sounds like there are impediments not being brought up. Also a great time to remind people about any outstanding PRs. When all is going well, scrum can seem useless. I’m reporting I did the things I was going to do and telling you what I’m doing next. Not super useful. But you never know when something unexpected is going to come up.
Scrums don’t have to be real-time either. We’ve done them over chat before. Sometimes people email it when they are out sick. No idea why cause if I’m out sick then you’re just not getting my report. If any of it is important I’ll bring it up at the next scrum.
And, I suppose a manager could be a scrum master but none of ours are. Sounds like a waste of time for them.
Middle and high schoolers sure, but elementary schoolers, especially kindergarten and first grade? I know plenty of parents who wouldn’t let their kid walk down the street to school at that age.
Still, if there’s one thing America sucks at, it’s having people do healthy things. I’m very grateful I WFH, for now, and don’t have to wake up until 10AM.
That’s way less weird than I was expecting based on the comments. Not how I have ever interact with my sibling though. But, we’re very different people. I don’t think being happy that your older brother/sister is home for the holidays is weird in any way though.

Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.

It sounds like you’re listing bad things about reddit but what’s wrong with advice animals and rage comics? I don’t really know any drama around Ron Paul or Faces of Atheism either. The latter certainly sounds like the name of a cult though.

I, and most people if we’re being honest, are not nearly as bad ass as Aragorn or Boromir and never will be. I think the guy who threw himself and a dwarf into a crowd of orcs, AND LIVED, isn’t going to be made fun of for anything. You think someone would make fun of an MMA fighter to their face?
There is no standard roll of toilet paper so it’s impossible to compare that way between brands. That’s why everyone says to look at how many square feet are in the package.
It’d be far easier to list out the ones I like and why. I hate some because I don’t like the way they speak, what they present, how they present it, and many other things.
I’m not going to write any more out though. It’d be an essay either way.
I’ve never been a fan of standing for concerts. But I especially hate fuckers who buy the seats in front of me then stand up most of the concert. IF YOU WANTED TO STAND THERE WERE DEDICATED PLACES THAT WOULDN’T OBSTRUCT MY VIEW.

Based on their post, the intent was foreign for them. Not foreign for you. That’s why they said they were in the US and wondered what shows didn’t take off in the US.

Last time I used Bumble, a few years ago, I think about a third of the profiles I looked at weren’t even filled out. Step 1 might be enforcing users to actually fill out a profile.
I got to a point where I just swiped left on anything that wasn’t filled out enough. If you can’t even be bothered to do that then I don’t think you’re going to be a good partner.
