When they say agile they don’t mean that the company is flexible and adjusts to new situations quickly.
They mean that those companies are some of the most proficient in Agile software development methodology.
To be fair I see how people can get them confused. But in the context of work tracking they clearly mean the latter.

Look man I know what Agile is, and I can guarantee fucking Halliburton is not amongst the most Agile companies in software. I’ve worked for government contractors (not defense contractors, sorry, I like my soul right where it is). But even if they were, why the fuck would you advertise it as if it’s a great thing they’re using your software?

I agree that taiga shouldn’t feature Haliburton.
This all bearing said do you really think the people working on Taiga seek to be more evil and more terrible?

The people working on the software might not, but the pointy headed managers obviously are reaching for it, and in the end the people working on the software’s opinions don’t matter in the least.

For property software you would be right. Yah.
But it’s open source AGPL stuff. Full time devs improving AGPL code is good even with pointy haired managers.
This all being said I don’t think even the managers aim to become more evil and more terrible as their goal.
