We switched to Agile Flights (https://agile.flights) for exactly this reason.

The work moves - the ceremony doesn't follow it. Focused on shipping.

Works both in extremely high phase with AI, and for teams without it.

Ran into the same wall - ceremony eating the actual work. The Flight methodology cuts through it: a landing date, a single captain, no story points, no mandatory standups.

The tagline from the handbook: "Agile started with a manifesto. It ended with Jira."

Show HN: Agile died in a Jira board – we replaced sprints with flights

Over year ago, our engineering team ditched Scrum. Not because we read some contrarian blog post, but because we looked at our calendars and realized we spent more time talking about work than doing it. Standups that ran long. Grooming sessions nobody prepared for. Retros that concluded "we should have fewer meetings" and then we'd schedule a meeting to discuss that.We tried going process-free....

This is fantastic. I could not help myself, fixed issue #3. Pain is real!
By the message they leave in the email and on the site, it does not look that way. I doubt it. I am a backer as well.
Re:Ticketmaster is a horrible company on Sunday January 08, 2017 @02:49PM (#13351562)
Their giftcard system does not even work mostly, completely broken (by code, bugs). Tried purchasing a e-giftcard with a custom photo for weeks. Contacted support and no response for over 3 weeks.

Finally made a purchase of a normal giftcard in Safari. Think it was just pure luck, had to go back and forth the contact details page several times to be able to check out.

Seems like Ticketmaster simply does not want our stash? :)

Re:Ask HN: Have any side projects from Show HN gone big? on Monday December 05, 2016 @04:20PM (#13109726)
1. Took the test. 2. Was impressed 3. Thought to test for a while 4. Installed Chrome plugin 5. Opened facebook for some random reason 6. Page flickering!? Facebook bug? 7. Scrolled 2 times 8. Got smashed in the face by a full-page ad from Beelinereader 9. Removed plugin and will probably never install again

You really caught me. This is something I could pay for after trying out for a while. Do yourself a favour for christmas and investigate if there is any other way than smashing just recently onboarded users with an ad to raise the awareness of the fact that this is not free.

Thanks though, really, impressive tech.

Stumbled upon this through Hacker Newsletter. This is awesome. Pure. (Evil.) Genius.

Thanks Alan!

Re:Show HN: Survey Builder with Drag/Drop Logic Branching on Wednesday December 05, 2012 @11:11AM (#4876880)
Yeah, URL Fix is key I think...

But about the pricing; consider this: * You'd probably earn hellofalot more with individual pricing? I mean, I pay per sent SMS/Email/Whatever on other services. It's the usage that will cost you money in terms of data-transfers?

If I'd use your service with a newsletter of 100 000 subscribers, let's say 10% would answer my very quick survey, you'd have to host these 10 000 users throughout the survey with $26 in your pocket.

It might be sustainable in the long run if you have enough users that does not utilize the service that much - but with a couple of enterprise users you might be out of luck(?)...

I'd still consider thinking twice about your price-structure, you might want to charge 24/month, including X answers or something?

I'd certainly be willing to pay a fixed price per month (Maybe lower) and then $0.xx per answer to my survey?

Best of luck! :-)

I agree with the above - rather warn the user then shutting them out completely!

Seems like there is no limitation in height, but in width. Try stretching your browser outside your screen for 80px. :-)

That solved my problem.
