I really did not care for my experience with Agile. The company was just moving to Agile, I was a new employee and their previous development team had jumped ship (taking the majority of the domain knowledge with them); leaving only one developer. Stack on the learning curve of the new system, the newness of Agile methodology for the team; and ever changing requirements with a rock solid date to get the product to market, this was a nightmare. Looking back, I believe that the company had problems keeping a talented IT staff and their attempt to adopt the Agile methodology did not help their cause

These are the so called self taught developers, who have learned to code but have no knowledge of a computer's hardware. Binary is as foreign to them as learning a new language.
