I find this part surprising - "Agile Development Didn’t Pay". It would be interesting to see the source data and see what kind of companies are saying this. I feel like 'agile' is shoehorned into large enterprises sometimes where it really only means "two week sprints and standups" but really, it's still waterfall.

Exactly the same situation -- the actual unit tests are fast but when we run our integration tests it takes (relatively) forever. Which is a shame as it causes the developers to run the full test suite a lot less often than they should, and we end up catching problems right before we expected to be able to push code.

I can't imagine remapping the escape key now after decades of using Vi. Pretty sure my muscle memory couldn't be remapped at this point!

I also think it's like a first date in that if it doesn't seem like a match you shouldn't try to change your entire personality in order to be a better fit. Date a bunch at first, and if everyone rejects you that's when you should think about changing.
