It seems similar to anecdata as the US migrated from dialup to broadband internet services. In theory you could finish downloading everything you needed in a fraction of the time so the bandwidth should remain unused longer. In practice, pe

Stand ups are just peer pressures on productivity with management oversight. I better have something to say at the standup or say X was completed or it'll look bad at me, not the effort. In theory standups are great because the team wo

It's also not a good idea that all of your time is related to a codebase or two (i.e. don't put all your professional eggs in one basket). Imagine if those projects go poof or something critical happens. When you're 100% inve

Definitely. We have a tremendous amount of risk aversion these days and a culture that has disdain for risk, even calculated abstract risks. What many don't realize is being too risk averse comes with its own risks, it also requires

I'm sure the statuses are being very liberal at their reporting thresholds towards the end user. /s Perhaps it would help if the dashboards gave a tiny inkling of transparency, like what the thresholds are so you could gauge the r

If it's a strawman, why do we keep participating in what it represents? Politicians may not be directly advocating it under its derogatory name but they tow the cultural line to maintain the status quo that support it. Many continue to

It's intentional plausible deniability. By creating the manual step you can shift blame away. It's just like the concept of personal health dashboards which are designed to keep an asymmetry in reliability information from a host

This assumes that competition exists and self-regulates, it doesn't (always, or much in later states of a system), contrary to a lot of economic theory that's peddled as fact by those who benefit the most from it.

At some period of human history, breeding for some traits probably made sense, functionally. Dogs that could hunt well or track other animals for you all made sense in a survival situation. The mess we got into was when we started this whol

Do you perhaps mean wolves by strays? If so,, I don't think that's how natural evolution works, otherwise humans might start looking like Homo erectus. The main distinction between an actual 'stray' dog and a domestic do

Well it's not about just redefining the key input mapping, it's about the visual physical labeling on keys. There are (or were) some keyboards with small LCDs under each key on the market where you can dynamically remap the visual

More like developer Towers of Babel waiting to collapse on every build attempt. Docker is fine if it's used correctly but it does add a layer of complexity, it doesn't abstract it away.. The way I see it rampantly (ab)used is as

Intentional selection bias and cherry picking is a real problem in media and other domains. Waiting to hear all the pieces you want to hear and then weaving them together to create the story you want in others' voices. It makes things

If it's visible, it's capturable, it's simply a matter of how obfuscated it is and how much effort you want to spend capturing it. In highly dynamic web apps these days, it could be simple as a right click or as complex as fi

Agreed. The question is if you need the complexity these platforms have. Do you need a distributed platform with regional load balancing and all sorts of other stuff to share a small text file with a handful of people? Absolutely not. It ul

It amazes me how successful consumer hostile strategies are in recent times. It sort of flies in the face of most economic models that claim markets self-regulate. This includes businesses in industries which aren't massive and monopol

I like to view of it more as a leap in knowledge. Someone jumped not just a foot into the frontier but half a mile and setup camp. Now, there's half a mile of land for people to safely and easily scout through knowing they can always s

It's all a perception game. Perceived value seems to reign over all else in terms of today's markets. Utility is looked at less and less these days, so you certainly have to think about perception in different contexts, as you poi

It's a lot of leader/follower mentality. When you don't know what to do and can't make your own informed decision, you copy and mimick behaviors of others that are leading and successful. It happens in all facets of busi
