#2Outside of a very limited set of circumstances (sushi bars, or close longtime friends of the serving/kitchen staff), you're just annoying the staff when you ask to be surprised. It's a dick move to walk into a situation where the other party knows nothing about you, but they're still expected to impress you.

this isn't the point of the article which is, in my opinion, a very good narrative of what its like to try to practice agile development in an organization with not very agile tendencies.
it was just a way to demonstrate that this kind of request at least _can_ be made to a restaurant staff and you don't think "wow they're totally gonna blow it" but you'd rarely, if ever, see a product team make a similar request to a development team.
great job to the author of this post for capturing this.

#7I don't understand who "they" and "us" are referring to.
Confusing article...

#8I don't understand who "they" and "us" are referring to. Confusing article...
"us" = development team
"them" = stakeholders/product owner/project managers/managers/ux designers/etc.
