Blog post is a fun way to say that Agile/SAFe/etc is a methodology for large orgs to deal with orgs that need planning certainties that you never find in IT and that the process is made for low performers, low trust environments & when you have a trustworthy high performer, the process hobbles them.

Anyhow, let's wave our magic wand & everyone is now a high performer, extremely independent & is 100% trustworthy. Now we don't need any process at all. That was easy!

"You have to hire the correct people..."

Keep waving that magic wand, okay, and now it is effortless to tell in an interview who is a high performer, trustworthy, etc. And firing people who turn out not to be is costless! Magic! (I mean in some jurisdictions, firing people is nearly impossible)

I'm not defending Agile/SAFe/etc, I just think if people want to go beyond it, they have to understand why it exists in the first place & not keep the analysis at "bad dummies are doing bad dumb things because they want to be bad dumb and that cheeses me off"
