AI: Bots against humans?

... in complex strategy game (Dota 2)? Seems so. The bots won 2 out of 3 on a one on one game (with a junior player). But even like that it is still... Surprising (at least to say):

AGILE: Ron Jeffries Says Developers Should Abandon "Agile"

Ron Jeffries Says Developers Should Abandon "Agile"


Quoting:

"Ron Jeffries, author, speaker, one of the creators of Extreme Programming (XP), and a signatory of the Agile Manifesto back in 2001, shared a post on his blog in which he advocates that developers should abandon "Agile". The post further elaborated that developers should stay away from the "Faux Agile" or "Dark Agile" forms, and instead get closer to the values and principles of the Manifesto.

The terms "Faux Agile" and "Dark Agile" are used by the author to give emphasis to the variety of the so-called "Agile" approaches that have contributed, according to him, to make the life of the developers worse rather than better, which is the antithesis of one of the initial ideas of the Agile Manifesto."
