ah, gratuitous obscenity. the sign of someone that really knows what they're doing, from whom we should take advice.
it's still worth reading, not for what it says but what is between the lines. "how not to do sprints". admittedly this isn't (must not be, i guess) common, but at my current $JOB we do dedicate entire sprints to tech debt. remote people phone into our sprints and are well included. it actually HELPS remote contact as there is at minimum a daily interaction with the entire team. (@tapvt had a similar comment.) his comments about changing the course on a daily basis is another example of likely abuse of sprints.
- nherment 8y agoI am a bit saddened by the fact you are getting downvoted. Swearing adds nothing to the author's arguments and I believe you are spot-on on the analysis of the blog post. Edit: I missed the following from HN's guidelines Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. Sounds very fair. The more you know... :)
- s73v3r_ 8y agoComplaining about swearing adds even less to the discussion.
- pavel_lishin 8y agoah, the insistence on PG language. The sign of someone that has a concrete criticism of an author's point, which we should pay attention to.
