ID.me is a shining example of why Agile is not a valid software development methodology. It is also a shining example of Elon Musk and DOGE’s limitless incompetence. One should expect nothing less from someone who not only builds the ugliest vehicle ever made in any country, he also makes it so poorly body parts fall off.
