Also please be aware I'm not talking to you directly, the content of your article is mostly good. It caused me a bit of pain as I read it based on my past experiences with everything you mentioned. Stand-ups can be great but they can also be tortuous. Retrospectives can be great and they can be worthless. Dependencies can be taken seriously or glossed over. Infrastructure is almost universally not enough on long standing projects. Security can be too tight. Complexity is over the top difficult and finally the tooling isn't quite there yet.

Tying in JavaScript with a different back-end is ludicrous but done all the time. How many hats are developers required to wear? It takes a minimum of 1.5 years to be a SME for Java or C# minimum. Typescript/JavaScript take the same amount of time.

I know. no problem. honestly, I regret picking such a straightforward blunt title which does not really reflect the overall mood of my post.
