Oof. I hate when people torture analogies.

There are for instance much better allegories for performance programming in the notion of an apple tree than “low hanging fruit”. Picking the low hanging fruit is just as wasteful a process in both domains.

Fast food restaurants don’t prepare food when you order it. It’s already mouldering in the back. They only make it on demand if you make a special request or they already fucked up their inventory estimates. It’s a lean process not an agile one.

And if you don’t think real restaurants sprint, maybe you should watch The Bear.
