True story: My HR manager came in and said he finally understood what Scrum was after watching Silicon Valley.

[rusk → 11thEarlOfMar]

That's "Cynical Scrum" i.e. "Scrum in the real world" - it's not supposed to be like this but as presented in SV is a common degenerate pattern.

A degenerate pattern can still be a great reference if you have already heard the theory. It's like reading bad code to understand a paradigm.
