Oh, that’s how you mean agile, as in opposed to rigidity, long term planning, bureaucracy, etc. in that sense you’re fully right. Though I imagine that much of it fades away if the incentives are right (e.g high pressure tends to weaken bureaucracy).

There are other rapid/flexible methods without sprint planning, dailies, etc. but this might be a bit too detailed for the general idea here.

Why exactly do you think that Europe‘s failure relates to agile? To me it seems more an incentive problem, which would be completely outside of software specific methodology

Agile is just one possible way to organize things and many developers don’t even like it or think that it improves productivity.

It would be interesting to study those cases, to see exactly what failed. We’re not weak and should be able to survive in „globalization“ context. Anyway, now it’s (more obviously) a matter of security too.

Die Zweit- bzw. Mehr-Verwendung ist genau die Lösung des ganzen Problems. Auf einer Seite will man die Sichtbarkeit auf der Mainstream-Site nicht verlieren, auf der anderen Seite nutzt niemand die „Alternativ“-Medien, weil da „nichts los ist“. Wenn auf mehreren gepostet wird, sind beide Probleme gelöst, Abhängigkeit sinkt, Mobilität steigt.

It’s so weird that a continent with the population, education and wealth of Europe struggles with… software? These are all solved problems and software development becomes easier by the day. Come on.

Seems to be a matter of aligning incentives and not a lack of skill, creativity or financial capacity.

Uhm all the non right wing parties? There‘s money there too. And it’s not necessarily so expensive.

Zeit das zu ändern!

Ich habe übrigens nicht downvoted.

Just create a fact-checking / pro-democracy „AI swarm“. Tired of this fear mongering where apparently only the right wing knows how to write prompts, along with foreign troll farms.

Ich habe nie verstanden warum man sich hier so schwer tut, eigene vernünftige Software Plattformen zu entwickeln. Das ist keine Raketenwissenschaft…? Und zb könnte die EU existierende Projekte unterstützen, wie Ubuntu Touch, um eine Alternative zu Android und iOS zu haben.

There are a few competitive devices that even come with Ubuntu Touch preinstalled.

It doesn’t have 2 of the biggest corporations in the world funding it. Maybe something can be done at policy level to get it up to speed. With Linux at foundation we already have like 70%.
