Re:I Will Fucking Haymaker You If You Mention Agile Again on Monday October 16, 2023 @12:41AM (#37895989)
Ok, so you don’t like standup meetings. If you’re actually doing agile, then you’re in luck, because the whole point is that the team is considered competent to pick their own process. In the next retrospective, get the others in the team to agree to skip them, and you’re done. Good luck with that if you’re in some Taylorist org. Now, of course, there’s also the case of getting the worst of two worlds, with Scrum handed down from on high. In that case I’d recommend just getting out.
Re:Is anyone using PyPy for real work? on Monday July 31, 2023 @08:25AM (#36941561)
I use it at work for a script that parses and analyzes some log files in an unusual format. Wrote a naive parser with a parsing combinator library. It was too slow to be usable with CPython. Tried PyPy and got a 50x speed increase (yes, 50 times faster). Very happy with the results, actually =)
