I am not Kent Beck; I don't have all the answers. All AI has shown us is that we should probably write specs before we code. That was true before AI, but LLMs have just shone a light on this, and it will remain true if agentic coding f

Author here. Yes, that would be the first paper I linked to in the article, "Managing the Development of Large Software Systems" (Royce, 1970). The first diagram is the classic waterfall diagram, used there for illustrative purpos

Author here. Well I think this just proves we can slap "agile" onto anything. The people before agile actually wrote things with more substance than the manifesto. The agile projects you worked on sound wonderful, and I would alig

Author here. So one of the main points in this massive, 700 word Treatise (which I do hope you will find the time to read) was that nothing Agile practitioners slapped their label onto was actually novel. Why re-invent agile, when agile its

Where in Taipei? I have been there a few times, so you can be specific.

It's worth noting that early on in English, þu/ģe (thou/ye) did not say anything about formality. It was just singular and plural.

Yeah it iw called the exclusive form lol. But if you think about it seems normal... "we went to the city" is not really mean.

If you are interested in Wulf and Eadwacer it is beautifully sung here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6-QagSE7sFY

Another fun pronoun distinction I have seen is having two forms of "we" - one including the person you are talking to, and one excluding them. (To clarify this was in Hokkien, not Anglo-Saxon).

How I write is better than how I talk, because by definition I have more time to think. So I aim for the opposite - I aim to spontaneously talk the way I write. And academic and technical writing should absolutely be lexically dense. It&#

I mean it's advice from the same man who thought "delve" - a 6000 year old, monosyllabic word used by Shakespeare and Tolkien - was too complicated and should not be used. I am not sure we should be taking him as a literary a

It doesn't matter - Israel was able to ethnically cleanse and occupy large parts of Southern Lebanon, without undue Iranian interference. Mission accomplished for MIGA. The "Israel First" administration of the US will happily

It's ignorant to base someones ethnicity on their skin color; by this logic Shinzo Abe was white too.

This field really is doomed. We are entering a dark age of software. Github reaching zero 9s of availability is only the beginning.

I'm really interested in the "development process", for lack of a better word, of Apollo. Obviously it was not kanban, sprints and retrospectives, but I am curious about how they actually went about it.

Great game. I only wish there were more "one off" or even random scenarios - I like playing against the computer but I find campaigns become a bit of a grind with the whole "OK we need to level these units for the scenario co

The smartest thing Trump could do right now would be to take this as a "victory" and end the war.

Yes, I've noticed.

I've gone over this before; but they do not even chant "death to america". It's a deliberate mis-translation to stoke tensions between Iran and the US.

Not an argument. Between - ADL - StandWithUs - AIPAC - Zionist Organization of America - Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism - Act.IL / RiseAPP - Israel Hub and more, there's enough resources to get Their People into moderator posi

I'd like to see a less flexible markdown standard. There's no reason to have 2 different ways of italics/bold etc. Pick one, reject other text.

Who moderates /r/conservative? Whenever I drop into old subreddits these days the whole place feels very astro-turfed. High chance that it's modded by zionists, they have a lot of money and a lot of different organisations th

Trump has a loyal hardcore, but he is absolutely bleeding supporters around the edges. If you follow the US right many of them are pledging to vote democrat in the midterms as a protest.

It's extremely relevant given Israel's long history of extra-territorial assassinations and kidnappings. The moment in history where we all pretend that Israel is a normal country has been and gone.

So it seems quite likely that Linkedin is actually tracking Jews with this. Really? Which LinkedIn executive do you think might be behind this? Jeff Weiner? (Executive Chairman) Ryan Roslansky? (CEO) Tomer Cohen? (Chief Product Officer wh

I maintain hope that the US will declare some arbitrary victory condition "Iran's capacity to do XYZ has been critically degraded!" and will unilaterally disengage. Unfortunately this will almost definitely occur after Israel

I think you are ignorant about the nuances of the US right. It is not a monolithic block anymore than the US left is. Prominent right-wing figures who are against this war: - Tucker Carlson - Thomas Massie - Candace Owens - Marjorie Taylor
