Working in a corporate company feels like time has stopped, the speed of development is ridiculously slow, they are trying to use AI to improve but the problem is not the developers, it is in the infinite processes and layers upon layers of management.
The agile manifesto was created for developers to work better, corporate transformed it into a tool of control and bureaucracy, let's be honest whatever they are doing is not scrum and much less agile.
Big companies aren't dumb, they understand the problem they're in, but the restructuring needed to fix it is massive and one misstep can backfire, and it is backfiring. The different round of layoffs in most cases very poorly managed, only worsen employee sentiment, with key people fired, many others resigning, and an incalculable loss of real knowledge, they are entering uncharted territories.
It's the time of lightweight startups, the difference is abysmal, the speed is dizzying, corporate is the current champion, confident, poorly trained and pedantic, startups are the challenging underdogs, they are hungry, they have the eye of the tiger, and they are going for the title fight.
The game has changed, the playing field has leveled, the time is now.

You're so right, it's always the process bottleneck, not the tools or tech. Do you think any big corporates can realistically fix this, or will they just keep seeing their best people walk?
Honestly, it’s hard to predict. Big companies will adapt eventually, but it’s going to be a slow and painful process. Startups, on the other hand, are lean by design, that gives them the speed to adapt, experiment, and innovate without waiting for approval from 5 layers of execs. Time will tell.
