I've worked on projects without a structure like story points, and it's usually a complete mess. Developers love it because there isn't any real way to gauge individual progress, but business owners hate it because projects n

"Why are programmers so violently opposed to these laws? " With AI, these views have now been reversed. It seems when a group of people think they have the power, they only want the rules to apply to them. When someone more powerf

You can find good contract on Upwork, but you need to go through lots of bad ones. I find around 5 good contracts there per year. I find that even when a client agrees on a rate, Upwork has the reputation of finding inexpensive workers, and
