Agreed. Agile needs to be for developers first and foremost, not the management.

At least, in Scrum, from my experience so far: pointing is about measuring the uncertainty to delivery, but should healthily include learning, tech debt refactors,testing, q/a, even unexpected stuff like dev churn (i.e shoot under always, over estimate slightly).

But if individual performance is measured by velocity and points, you will just get devs badly cutting corners and gaming it while project & product will never get accurate measurements they can tie time based business outcomes to (especially as you get further out and short term corner cutting starts to rear it's head as brutal Tech Debt and time sinks)

No one speaks in true reasoning because we don't have a compressed communication ability to do so.

Everyone always talks in false reasoning, even to an extent.

Still, I think implicit trust of each other is warranted in order to move forward, especially in lieu of how "lazily" we communicate day to day.

i.e Given the lazy determination of our intellect we surely must think some things as true that are in fact not.

This is why I try to assume the worst case.

I.e use timeshift backups / cloud sync / src control for anything vital + treat your OS as a throw away, or at least, re-instate-able in <30 min.

This just makes commits about Project Management (tracking) and not about Development (reasoning).

Diffs say what you did. Commits should say why you did.

Exactly. A sci fi playwright shouldn't be a source for inductive reasoning, let alone any tv content.

>> trying to solve with innovation would just go away for at least 20 years.

Interesting! But wait... wouldn't that mean everyone would save effort and potentially money by hooking up to the national grid? One that has way more people working on innovation + a 20 year time line for it?

Honestly that sounds way more simple, straightforward, and literally more innovative than "let's just all turn our temps down when peaking" lol.

Then again Texas politics... :-|

I'd trust FB with my data over say.. Equifax, and they have way more important data than my pulse. But they also got hacked for bad software maintenance and no one is constantly shitting on them.

Not that I use it, but idk FB is a scapegoat if anything.

...Also I know it's whataboutism but common lol. People are so entitled with their privacy when it means nothing to their actual safety. Comes off so weak and whiny.

I got YT Premium. Happy to pay for no ads. TBH I feel like people will use any reason to justify the simple fact they are just cheap. Idk.

Lmao yeah like all the terrorists that stormed the capitol.

Given this logic, we should charge all ppl with guns and other stock piles who wave confederate flags as potential terrorists who want to overthrow the government too?

At least her cause seemed legit (racism). Also she is reformed now? Still a terrorist though I guess, just like all those neo-nazis who are "reformed".

Edit: I realize I'm being biased here, but trying to point out your own (strawman) bias lol.

All protests can attract bad actors that take advantage of the emotion and pain. This is honestly a non-sequitur argument unless you apply it to the "other side" as well.

Wow how many HN users went straight to hyperbolic comparisons to the worst people in history and conflating protests with conceptual activism.

Call the kettle black though eh.

PS: BLM manifesto was legit. Any of you actually read it?

"Carbon is forever."

I use Linux primary, but also Android, Win10, iPadOS, iOS, macOS every day. Pick a side though.

I find it... sad? how knee-jerk people are, especially with the expectation of "perfect privacy" in a country where millions of people's SINs got leaked and that company still functions.

Looking forward to that $1/month I'll get if it goes class action though...

The cause is always glass half empty isn't it?

>> Maybe I've turned into a bad programmer

I agree with you on everything except this ^^ :-P

I too enjoy that sort of mental model you are forced to get into, especially in terms of translating that simplicity and focus into a codebase. Not just being a “hero” and cramming out code, then having velocity and feature progression suffer years later for the known (and unknown) tech debt generated from not thinking things through with patience and consideration.

Yup. Even in North GTA. Outside town on concession roads? Still expensive LTE or small companies with P2P mobile equivalents that’s junk compared to line broadband.

I wish it was more official. I consider myself an engineer 10 years later; understanding what it means and what it takes to ensure properly developed and maintained software over many years, even via multiple teams.

Agreed. I’m Canadian though. It’s a constitutional right here.

Awesome! Thanks. :-)
