"I go looking for function X amongst the code. I can’t find it. In fact, I started looking for it sometime yesterday, and haven’t found it yet. I check the folder marked “docs“, to find it contains only a single README.txt file, the sole contents of which is the teaser "This directory will contain the docs" - apparently the dying message of a long extinct group of developers whose brains exploded before being able to make good on their promise."
When agile development goes bad. (It was not really Agile anyway, but people tend to take little parts and create their own frankenstein methodology (and just like in the story it becomes the death of them and their project))
