    Since when are daily plank meetings[^] something new?

    The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
    This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

    Agile Fanatics dealing with a doubter? I've seen this in the workplace before.. :laugh: [More Agile Doubters here..^](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2Wx230gYJw) (well, it is Monday) :laugh:

    Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

        Agile sucks - luckily it's now heading into it's death throes but plank meetings ... a really good idea, I've almost fallen off my seat in too many meetings, maybe I'll forward this to health & safety. ... then again it's harder to drink coffee when lying down, and that really helps me sleep.

        You're supposed to be standing in the stand-ups (although we do have one or two people in our team who sit down at the stand-ups). Can you still call it a stand-up if you're doing a hand-stand? I've just had a great idea for the next fad.. :laugh:

          I'll have no choice in the future but to quote you on that.

            All it needs is some back-lit coloured panels and a few buttons that just go beep, and I'll be well on my way to building myself the bridge of the Enterprise!

              The stupidest thing is I saw this yesterday on LinkedIn when there were literally thousands of people commenting on what a great idea this is.. probably managers/coaches/HR types, so expect this in your office soon! :laugh:

                  Have you seen any of your coworkers? A few planks wouldn't hurt.

                    Oh, you teaser, giving me sweet but false hope.

                    If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.
