    It’s amazing what happens when management leave Devs alone to do actual work instead of calling SCRUM bullshit.

      That might have worked then. Not so sure nowadays. The work ethic was different back then.

      Edit: I didn’t realize the can of worms I opened up. Hopefully it stirs a little bit of constructive conversation. I realize I have an unpopular opinion here. That’s ok. I wish all of you a prosperous and content life. I’m not here to stir up hate. I simply expressed my opinion. I’ve learned a little about how passionate some of you are about this topic. I never thought I would start such a hornet’s nest.

        People still create great shit when left to their own devices and properly cared for

        Workers in the 90s are no different from any others

          I was there in the 90s. Working full time. There was a noticeable difference in the work ethic from then to today.

            It kinda just sounds like cool and interesting people don’t want to hang out with you. I wonder why.

              I have a loving family and a decent job. I have everything I need. I can count the friends I have on one hand.

        Small teams being allowed to do what they want can still give good results, but you aren’t going to see that at major companies. I almost solely play indie games by micro or solo dev teams.

          That’s a great point. I do support indie games when I enjoy them. Not a fan of the micro transaction slop that huge publishers are pushing

        You could also afford to work on failed projects because houses and healthcare costed two acorns and a peanut.
