Loop Logic: The Cliff Of Execution

Remember when Reddit engineers were optimization wizards? Now they're blaming your tiny custom emojis for server meltdowns. Classic corporate evolution - from "we built a platform that can handle millions of simultaneous users" to "your 20KB GIF is why everything's on fire."

Agile was supposed to free us from endless meetings and documentation. Instead, we got sprint planning, sprint reviews, retrospectives, backlog grooming, daily standups, and quarterly PI planning sessions where we discuss how agile we are.
