Lightning Talks
summary
Claims that authority is what others grant not position, demonstrated by taking a room with a three‑piece suit and a two‑second attention window; shows Rubik’s Cube learning requires getting worse before getting better. Argues brains are lazy and produce cognitive biases, so validate hypotheses with real users. Specifies two situations to avoid agile: when the solution has no ambiguity and when the cost of change is prohibitive (example: bridges). Calls hybrid agile is a cop‑out and urges short feedback loops and weekly‑scale fail fast.
