Oh, that’s how you mean agile, as in opposed to rigidity, long term planning, bureaucracy, etc. in that sense you’re fully right. Though I imagine that much of it fades away if the incentives are right (e.g high pressure tends to weaken bureaucracy).

There are other rapid/flexible methods without sprint planning, dailies, etc. but this might be a bit too detailed for the general idea here.

And develop our own software importantly

Why exactly do you think that Europe‘s failure relates to agile? To me it seems more an incentive problem, which would be completely outside of software specific methodology

Agile is just one possible way to organize things and many developers don’t even like it or think that it improves productivity.

Maybe we can find a best of both worlds outcome where we contribute to open source and have also competitive payment. Many of the „giants“ also contribute significantly to open source.

It would be interesting to study those cases, to see exactly what failed. We’re not weak and should be able to survive in „globalization“ context. Anyway, now it’s (more obviously) a matter of security too.

It’s so weird that a continent with the population, education and wealth of Europe struggles with… software? These are all solved problems and software development becomes easier by the day. Come on.

Uhm all the non right wing parties? There‘s money there too. And it’s not necessarily so expensive.

In principle not incorrect, Europe has rough times ahead and a lot to do to catch up in defense and digital infrastructure, among others.

That said, it should be carefully investigated what leads to actual productivity increase. Just more hours may or may not do that. And compensation should increase accordingly.

Just create a fact-checking / pro-democracy „AI swarm“. Tired of this fear mongering where apparently only the right wing knows how to write prompts, along with foreign troll farms.

There are a few competitive devices that even come with Ubuntu Touch preinstalled.

It doesn’t have 2 of the biggest corporations in the world funding it. Maybe something can be done at policy level to get it up to speed. With Linux at foundation we already have like 70%.

It felt effortless to me. It might need a bit more polished user interface on web, but other than that it feels like a good, user friendly app. What it needs rather is more visibility.

Ubuntu Touch is a thing btw, if one is serious about supporting an European ecosystem.
