You must have worked in some very unhealthy teams where psychological safety wasn't present. I'm sorry that happened. But don't confuse your experiences with that of everyone else's. There are lots of teams that are agile from the top down, including those that happen to hold a title with VP in the name.
Don't distract. I'm genuinely trying to help us figure out how to build quality software, using AI, while avoiding all the problems we're seeing on so many teams.
No distraction. Genuine question. The whole point of the Agile Manifesto is to encourage removal of VP and similar roles from an organization; turning to a flat organizational structure. What motivates you, a VP, to latch onto that? How do you think that will help (with or without amendments)? Do you, perhaps, think in the age of AI your org will be better off if you 'step down' into a development/AI steerer role?
I was around when the agile manifesto was drafted. It wasn't about eliminating hierarchy in organizations. That's something that started happening later, around and after 2010. The agile manifesto was singularly focused at helping people see how to deliver software without leaning on the old waterfall methodologies.
The Agile Manifesto was published in 2001. You asserted earlier your software career began in 2006. What brought you to the Wasatch Mountains at that time when you had no ties to the industry?
Winston Royce, in his book, invented the waterfall methodology as a hypothetical of what not to do in order to help explain his core thesis. It is not a real thing. Why do you suggest the Agile Manifesto was created to help avoid leaning on a strawman?
Before the Enlightenment, what we now call science was alchemy. Productive, sometimes brilliant, but without a formalized process for distinguishing real understanding from convincing error. The scientific method changed that, and science became possible.
Software engineering today is closer to software alchemy. We build through craft and intuition, and when it works we often can't fully explain why.
AI is making the labor of producing software cheap while leaving the work of understanding it hard, and that combination is new.
We've never had to build a shared mental model of a software solution deliberately. It has always come for free through the raw effort of writing code.

Scala engineers with experience designing, building, and optimizing compilers: Mid- and Senior- Levels
thatDot has created the world's first Streaming Graph, called "Quine" to make interpreting high-volume data streams dramatically faster and easier [1]. After 7 years of DARPA-funded research and development with a fantastic team of engineers, it's a game-changing core infrastructure technology. Our products are used by major security companies to do real-time behavioral analysis, monitor and triage their alarms, and automate remediation of security threats.
We're an early-stage venture backed company, and now is a great time to join! We believe strongly that each person should get more from their job than just a paycheck! It should be interesting, provide a chance to learn new things, help advance your career, work with amazing and kind people, and be fun! A person ≠ their opinions. We value individual people who know how to disagree productively with each other so we can all learn. We deliberately cultivate a space where learning new things is the goal.
There's only one Frontend Engineer position listed in your careers page. If one wanted to be considered for the Compilers Scala Engineer position do we apply to the Frontend position or is the compiler position no longer available?

Non-traditional backgrounds (i.e. non-CS degrees) are strongly encouraged; philosophy majors wanted!
Tools in our stack - NOT REQUIRED if you're willing to learn:
- Scala. We happily use pragmatic functional programming on the JVM.
- Akka. The Actor model is at the heart of what we do.
- Akka Streams. Backpressure is the ideal way to approach streaming data.
- Databases like Cassandra, RocksDB, and more.
- …and the right tool for the job.

Can you clarify what this means? Around 2002, a group from Brown, Brandeis, and MIT developed a system called Aurora that sounds like the same thing. (Later commercialized as StreamBase, then acquired by TIBCO.)
