I’ve had this scenario several times.

The last was when the company I worked for was acquired. We needed to adopt their CSS library for all our applications.

I changed their component based library to have semantic style css and dropped it right in.

Depends where you are socio-economically

I’d rather be poor in the UK I’d rather be chronically sick in the UK, that is if I’m not already wealthy and insured I’d rather be in the US and middle class - particularly with inherited wealth I choose to live in the UK as an high level (middle) manager with my similar status American wife

It’s an interesting topic but I find the article’s writing style impenetrable.

For example:

The polish applied in adjectival designation inclines one to believe that a definition has been achieved, a conclusion won. A pile of qualities furnishes a synoptic view of the whole, and so begins the slippage from the conditional mood to the declarative.

Sorry, me too dumb to parse. This is just one sentence picked at random

Just walked by for the first time in years.

Scrum is easy to criticise. Agile less so. One such Agile criticism is about principle “that working software as the primary measure of progress”. I understand the sentiment but it’s not enough, it’s got to meet the customer’s needs. Scrum is far too sprint release coupled. Sure you could separate them, but are you really doing Scrum then?

They were wrong, potentially and have adjusted their stance since.

They’re still poorly managing it because they lack decent information. I’d argue it’s the fault of the civil service that they’ve been crippling and obvious cronyism (e.g. Dido Harding) not equipped to provide decent information that they need for decision making.
