I infered that it is more about Microsoft and their management of software development than I did about it being anything technical related.

Stipulations on being eligible (and thus "restricted") by them. I.e., in your scenario you are _not_ restricted. I've got to conclude you are deliberately misconstruing the points I've made because you have some kind of

Benefits have stipulations. Pro-rata being one of them, others are minimum hours to be applicable. Anything else?

+1 easy motion makes the default jump-by-search feel really clunky. Typically it is mapped to double-tap leader then object, and it will then highlight those objects with a short-code to jump right to it. Examples: \\w -> will highlight

AFAIK when a closed/locked issue is referenced, watchers get notified. If they don't I agree they should.

Stalebot (the popular one on GH) has exemptions which are configurable - branch, author, label, commenter, and probably more. AKA owner/maintainer can do as little as drop a label or even just a reply on an issue and it won't be p

Priority is a constantly moving slide.

Meh. It's just a method of filtration. When you can only tackle so many things there is 0 point in having a bug tracker that will only inflate and with little in the way of automatic triage determining the priority it is a borderline i

Hence my point about using measurements from historic actuals to give a forecast instead of asking for explicit estimates. Sitting some devs down and asking them for gut feels is far less accurate than comparing to previous increments.

God yes, and if you work on the literally visible (UI) your work is so much more valued than if you are working somewhere amongst that cloudy bit of the platform diagram with all the lines and boxes that just does stuff.

The entire purpose of introducing story points is to move away from time estimating. Time estimating is broken and inaccurate. Complexity estimating is marginally more accurate but still with a wide range of inaccuracy. Instead teams should

by Jenk 5y ago
Story points are not a tool for duration, they are a tool for relative estimation and should never be converted to time in any capacity. _Especially_ not inter-team. This is the current biggest mistake in the industry, imo.

Meh. Most contracts are day rate, and effectively fixed-term salaries.

Yes it is very much a double edged sword. The other risk associated with highly passionate Devs is that one day the work your business values no longer accommodates what tooling they want to work with, or they themselves change tack sporadi
