Totally agree but there are many people there now who could use his help to fight for what they believe in. He's not just one guy trying to get some hair brained initiative passed. Our problem is we seek acceptance and agreement too mu

Actually agile is supposed to be a disruptive process that enables upward change but we keep doing it all wrong squeezing features out our asses when we should be making organizational changes. We should all know we're trying to change

I'm calling total BS. He should stay to change the system from within. Total waste of hard work to give up now. This is a knee jerk reaction and the poor lamb is going to live to regret it. I'm surprised they didn't have him

Yea dude it's supposed to be a fun learning experience. We got into software so we wouldn't have to work, not to be driven and crunched to death by self serving management culture. Look at all the early software pioneers do they l

Strong opinions held loosely. For a lot of us fonts were a key selling point of early computing and there's a story about Steve Jobs taking in design courses in fonts as an inspiration for the design of the Mac operating system. The wh

Yes it's on the shoulders of the hoi polloi who individually are utterly disempowered to do something about it -- I guess nothing has truly changed since the middle ages except tastes in music and dress. I've done my part fighting

Wonderful illustration of how perception is still reality even though perception can change thereby altering reality or vice versa.

I have seen these containers firsthand and didn't give them much notice -- it's amazing the sort of thing that can be right there below the surface when you begin to look deeper. It was an awesome sight though, the containers all

Dude! This has got to be the same with software -- with software it's 100x harder to design the process than the software or at least an order of magnitude wouldn't you say?

A lot to process here and I can't help feeling like we're overthinking it when we resort to these psychoses. Being that one ought to believe in people over processes we ought to examine what in the process is causing these outcome

To me this conversation is more about popular opinions in general and how many of them persist as a result of ubiquity over any sort of merit Times Roman is just another example of the defaults becoming the standard and we've all been

You'd think so, right? But the incentive is to show they were good hires and to quickly eliminate bad hires and if you show me the incentives I'll show you the outcomes... There is zero incentive to hire for anything except indivi

The larger an organization scales the more it relies on signals rather than explicit spoken directives. In fact the majority of communication operates on signals and we ought to know that by this millennium. If you're not using signals

As a step towards answering my own question I view culture something like a complexity issue or a proof by induction. Call it a question of human calculus. Given n where n>=1, how can we optimize such that n+1 is maximally effective The
