  1. Worse than waterfall. Waterfall implies there's a plan (which probably went fatally wrong a year ago). Scrum means the managers have no plan, just a bunch of desires that need to be fulfilled this instant.

  2. How did it end up? My experience with rewrites is that usually no one ends up happy due to extended timelines and architectures people aren't satisfied with (and that's without the potential issue of lots of undocumented business rules).

  3. Honestly if you give me a cursed monolithic database and a bug description I'll be perfectly happy to hunt it down, but if you tell me I have to hurry up and finish this driver testing and also write to the client about such-and-such and review this code for you and update our software on this other client's server and there's no documentation for anything and the only people who understand the system are perpetually too busy to help and it's all high priority, I'm looking for another job. (Not that I'm bitter about my current employer or anything.)

  4. I used to have a job I loved, and yes it was exactly that for me too. Well, and I really liked my team.
