This does not look like disagreement to me, but rather a distinct perspective of the same thing (was it the issue, or the symptom?). Getting hit with a shitty undocumented or doomed to fail project is part of the problem/risk being man

That also explains the "design by committee" thing and the ugly/desperate UX some corporate apps have.

One of the main reason I have come to to make peace with that, is that these companies are not optimizing for delivery and product quality first. They are optimizing against risk (of change, of loss of control over the whole process from id

In times of scarcity and uncertainty, strategy becomes a lesser focus than just survival. It works the same with money: when you barely have what’s necessary to live, you don’t have the reserve to invest/save strategically to improve y

A good first step would be to have signatures and verification. There's definitely room for overlay package managers (as he calls them), if only because they work _across_ systems mostly, and they have a higher release cadence, which i

A sentence of 6 words that starts with 5 words that themselves form a valid sentence would NOT necessarily be perceived as the same phrase, because the last, 6th word may completely change the meaning of the 5 previous ones. A new word, as

Depends in which stage you are, but if you are still figuring out what to build, or how to build it, fast-built messy monoliths are the least of your problems. Once things are validated, opportunities compound to rewrite "properly&quot

You may only improve what you can influence, within your agility bubble: does it stop at your team, or does it embrace the whole company structure.

There's value in keeping records for projects that last. But there's a slight difference between keeping records for accountability (just do the bare minimum to show that work happened as requested/regulated) and keeping reco

Indeed, but in the industry, I've seen no company that embraced "agile" without embracing some predefined framework (scrum, kanban, xp) to "apply it". I've yet to find a growing/grown company that still em

If you put the link on the CV, sure, you just assume that it may be relevant to your profile. But that's not necessarily a portfolio per se (something _really_ curated for that purpose, which is something specific). If it says so on th

Search costs matter, and GitHub browsing is low friction, but extremely low signal on a very narrow bandwidth. A lot of the best (technical-wise and ethic-wise) collaborators I've had had and have no public profile, some even not on Li

There's part of that, and that's a good thing: having kids, not having much spare time for work-related stuff _is a good thing_. As the contrary. It's up to your options and your choices. And that's irrelevant to your em

And that's perfectly fine. The issue is to set/have the expectation that necessarily "github = portfolio" and "no github or messy github" = not a good fit" and that candidates not fullfiling this expectati

What would be much more interesting would be Twitter allowing users to define and publish their own algorithm, like lists with superpowers. Stumbled on this idea on https://twitter.com/nbashaw/status/1515054551371
