The Real DDD: Delusion-Driven Development
summary
Claims five core delusions: that agile speeds up fixed‑scope software (contradicted by scrum/kanban practice), that development is a linear production line rather than iterative TDD cycles, that mindset shifts alone drive change instead of alignment of incentives, that promoted engineers naturally become good managers despite expectation conflicts causing micromanagement, and that leadership can be outsourced rather than owned. Examples used: Scrum, Kanban, TDD, Gartner hype cycle, blockchain/drones/AI. Uploader says six delusions but transcript lists five.
