I often write both, sometimes just a task, sometimes a story, sometimes I'll only include a sketch. The claim that User Stories are "dead" or an "anti-pattern" is silly. What's an anti-pattern is to claim that

I found the local shop that does the work for the chains. Turns out most of the big guys outsource their work. They didn’t care in the least what stone we brought them and their prices were way better than the big local chains, even though

Why would that not be possible in America? When the leader of the country during the pandemic was explicitly antimask? You can’t rewrite history with “logic.”

Critiquing lockdown policy because you can’t live your “nomadic lifestyle” is selfish. Critiquing lockdown because there are better alternatives is not. You chose to frame your argument in the former.

It looks to me like I'd have been off-track. I was harassed by police because of the way I looked, but my family was not, nor was the harassment as structured as this. I lost 3 jobs in high school because I was late. I was late because

On the same day they shutdown a Chinese activist's zoom account in an act of censorship [1]. I have a hard time accepting this as a coincidence and not paid-for good will. On a side note, I'm really disheartened that everyone is s

Anna Wiener makes commentary in her book Uncanny Valley that's pretty on the nose, and I know I wouldn't be able to do it justice. Worth a read.

I work for a rather large consumer goods company. We had a video taken down during a really important product launch. We had absolutely no idea why for three days. It cost us maybe two full days of development resources + consultants + thr

Product requirement docs to cover your ass. While answering this, I'm wondering if the rejection of that style is also correlated with organizational use of acronyms?

I've been a product manager for nearly a decade and I'd agree with your premise. I've released several well received products, and have risen through the ranks, probably the most relevant success metrics for my role. I tend t

This is a wonderfully succinct way of expressing to my significant other what I've been trying to get across for years. I'm considering printing this out, laminating it, and presenting it to her. We aren't the same race or g

I’m still here and this is incredibly important for our community. The tribune is the only major news outlet not owned by the LDS church, and is an important tempering force. Over the years they’ve given up some of their autonomy due to joi

They lost some of their teeth after the joint publishing agreement with Deseret News, but other than npr they are the only major news outlet of any medium in salt lake that is willing to be critical of the church. And it’s not like KUER has

It’s easy to be enraged by reports like this, but I just see it as proof that the system is too damned expensive. There’s opportunity cost here, along with actual cost, and risk, and even then the savings is justifiable.

Lead pollution hypothesis is one of many plausible explanations and shouldn’t be presented as fact.

Even the parts still made in Taiwan are often made by imported labor, last time I visited a bike factory, many signs were _only_ in thai. Taiwanese labor is just too expensive to hit the margins targets US bike manufacturers are looking for

I'm not the only person I know who would like a newer vehicle, and could afford one, but has opted for something made in the mid 90's. I can maintain it myself, it doesn't have all the distracting BS, and comes with a full si

I like to think of unions a little bit like getting a vaccination. You may not need it now, or ever, and when it actually works for you, you may not be aware of it. It's a low cost way of protecting yourself from injury and loss. And,
