So, Iāve been in an active job hunt for well over a year now because the job market is a) cancerous and b) simultaneously too fast and too slow to serve anyone looking for a job.Ā Iāve seen my share of weird, goofy, horrible excuses for English that say absolutely nothing in hundreds of words. There is one particular job that is seared into my memory for just how utterly, terribly weird and scammy it sounds despite being wholly legitimate.
Ā I speak of the Scrum Master.
Ā The Scrum Master, from what I can gather, is some kind of software development lead, but it sounds like some kind of corporate freaking cult:
Ā Why are there ceremonies. Why are you referring to software dev stuff as ceremonies. Iām worried!!!
All of this falls under an Agile development framework, and looking these things up only gets you more and more articles full of industry jargon, completely indecipherable to outsiders. Just look at the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(software_development) wikpedia entry, for Peteās sake.
Ā Scrum of Scrums. Large-Scale Scrum. Ā Scrum has to be the absolute fastest example of a word becoming utterly meaningless by repetition Iāve ever seen. This is actually something of an old term, originating in the 80s, but I think itās somehow become even more goofy sounding over time. Ā There are certifications to become a Scrum Master. Why you have to have an institute give you a certification to be a project lead, I donāt know. Ā Iām a writer, I got out of programming as a tiny college babby. I donāt want to go back. Ā
