The problem is not that Scrum doesn't have these things. The problem is that Scrum is a heavy and rigid set of processes that, besides a few useful things, adds a lot of unnecessary overhead. Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Goal, ev

Yeah, when I used it the first time I was in awe, but over time I removed their apps and I just walk to the supermarket. Their prices are quite high, delivery time is unpredictable (even though their app says 10-15min, sometimes I had to wa

Maybe last-mile mobility is a problem that requires public-private partnership. Public communication does not need to bring profits, it needs to serve the citizens. If public communication limits need for parking space, limits traffic jams

I take a day off to avoid the akward feeling of having my co-workers singing "happy birthday" to me. Besides that I don't really celebrate it. I enjoy celebrating achievements, like some success at work or a big milestone in

My guess is that they tried to keep advantage as long as possible to remain number 1 in streaming, so they didn't want to give their leverage to competitors. Their advantage was licensing (Marvel, Friends, The Office etc.) and tech. In

This might be an overreaction, but for me it's kind of the end of Netflix as a tech company. For years, Netflix stock has been growing, Netflix has been hiring great software engineers, and people considered them a tech company. But th

Same with the resumes. It's ok to have a section and list a few certificates, but quite regularly I see people put logos of some certificate programs on top of the resume, next to their name. It doesn't make a good impression.

In the decentralized web you don’t have to run your infra either, you can use one of thousands of hosting companies that will run it for you.

The web is the decentralized web. A server that you can keep at home that you can plug in to make it part of this huge network of machines located all around the world that communicate with each other - this is the decentralized web.

I've used Jira in my last 3 jobs. I tried to like it, I tried to tolerate it, now I just try to spend as little time using it as possible. I'm an engineer, I'm a problem solver. I want to add a task, move task to "doing&

This is amazing, especially the punchline! Some of the Netflix specials I've watched had jokes that were not much better than this. I'm sure with a proper delivery (tone, pauses) it would get quite a few laughs if it was presented

Their expenses are based on predicted growth in the volume of transactions. They're making money no matter if crypto goes up or down, but they stop making money when people stop trading.

What do you suggest then? Without regulation we'll allow companies to ban people via algorithms without an option to appeal the decision and talk to actual human being. We can keep saying "uninstall WhatsApp/Messenger/We

That's my problem with process management in software development. Things change, processes evolve, thihgs get lighter and easier. We went from bi-weekly releases to deploying a few times a day thanks to automated tests, canary release

I think this is ok for software with linear releases, for example closed-source SaaS applications. You can easily see the date of the release and compare 2 versions. However a lot of software, especially in open source, does not follow line

I use Roomba for vacuuming + Braava for moping and I'm very happy with the combo. Every Saturday morning they clean one floor and go back to charging, in the afternoon I take them upstairs to clean the other floor and it's done. T

From my experience the problem is that Scrum guides say (or used to say, it might have changed) that in order to do Scrum, you need to do it all. So all the certified Scrum Masters learn that they have to do daily stand-ups and all the othe

Interesting, I have a very different experience. My team does retrospective once a month (we don't do Scrum, so it's not tied to "sprints") and every month we actually do some improvements. Sometimes the problems are sma

As a citizen of a country that joined NATO in the late 90s, I really believe that if we didn't join NATO, we'd be on of the targets right now. NATO didn't force us to join, we asked for it, as an independent country which suf

How often do you use the braces - do you use them all the time when typing or only occasionally?
