Daily standup Memes

Someone finally had the courage to say what we've all been thinking. This guy set up a whole "Change My Mind" booth just to drop the truth bomb that Scrum is basically vibe coding with extra steps and a fancy name. The sign reads like a manifesto: "SCRUM is vibe coding with natural intelligence. And the product owner is the prompt engineer." Honestly? Not wrong. You're essentially feeding requirements to developers like prompts to an AI, hoping they interpret your vague user stories correctly, and then acting surprised when sprint planning turns into a philosophical debate about what "done" actually means. The product owner really IS just prompt engineering humans instead of LLMs. "As a user, I want to be able to..." is just a fancier version of "Write me a function that..." The daily standups? That's just checking if the model is still training or if it's stuck in an infinite loop. And retrospectives? Error logs with feelings.

Ah, the mythical Scrum Master – that person who schedules 15-minute standups that somehow last 45 minutes. Patrick proudly announces he's a Scrum Master, only for Squidward to brutally expose the truth: it's just a fancy title for someone who's terrified of working alone. The real punchline? "No meetings today" is apparently so horrifying it requires intervention. Heaven forbid we actually write code instead of discussing what we're going to code tomorrow! If your team celebrates canceled meetings more than completed sprints, this one's for you.

Nothing derails your productivity faster than a train wreck of a Scrum meeting. You start the day full of optimism and coding energy, ready to crush those tickets. Then BAM! The calendar reminder hits and suddenly you're trapped in a one-hour "quick sync" where Dave from marketing explains his weekend plans and your PM asks everyone to "go around the room" with updates. By the time you're free, your motivation has been obliterated like that poor bus, and your morning caffeine has worn off. The only sprint happening is everyone racing to the coffee machine afterward.

When your Scrum Master forces you to dress as a mushroom from Mario for the team "energizer" activity, but inside you're questioning all your life choices that led to this moment. The juxtaposition of the cheerful Mario character costume with the existential dread of a grown professional is the perfect metaphor for Agile ceremonies that feel more like kindergarten than software development. That's the face you make when you realize your computer science degree prepared you for algorithms, not for pretending a planning poker session is "fun."
