Phenomenal article, but I'm frustrated by his focus on Google, because it implies that you can only do 'Good Agile' when you have more money than God and no deadline. Although, perhaps that was his point.
In that timeframe a lot of his blog posts related to the experience of moving to Google - eg comparisons with Amazon etc.
It's now apparent that Google is both very a different place in recent years, AND that all the "Good Agile" stuff from 15 yrs ago kinda screwed most of their products and reputation long term.
