How could one change "rules of capitalism"? Capitalism is an idea, if anything's changed it was the system, so the system might have adopted some other ideas - that would be a change. It's like having a car, disassemble

I cannot agree on your last point: capitalism is a system where those two (government and private enterprise) are separated by design, simply because first one has little power over second (free market) and second has little power over firs

Blaming capitalism for corruption while giving government more and more power, solution: let's give the government more power in the name of social justice and expect that no one in the system is corrupted - wow, that's just perfe

Maybe losing valuable people is not affecting company straight away, but it surely affect the project. And with few project failing miserably (as they will if you do corporate waterfall) something might change. If not, then the whole compan

So, arguably, you are not mad at scrum, you are mad at people who lied to you that you were doing scrum.

I think you are missing one thing: why do you allow managers to say how to develop software when you are hired to be an expert on that matter? I know, I know, it is convenient to not to take responsibility and just complain, but that would

In my professional experience as developer I'm terribly disappointed with so called "scrum masters" dedicated for the job, the teams that I worked in that implemented scrum correctly were the teams where the team itself took

The only thing that worked for me when fighting managers as such was to expose where they are wrong about scrum and/or agile. Foursquare, boldly, without emotions. Speak up guys, you are paid to be experts, share your expertise with th

What are you talking about is problem that you are committing to to much in sprint, thus, your velocity is inaccurate. If I can give you a piece of advice: not finished items should be marked as 0 work done and moved to next sprint, and thu

I'm surprised, I've never had problems with org pressure, it was easy for me: either we do agile and you trust our judgement or I quit, because I know that this project will fail and I'm not interested in contributing to proj

I know what you are talking about, but those are the things I would never agree upon. This is against scrum, against agile. Where I can agree that scrum is not always the way, I truly believe agile is how software development should be done
43.
by bladelessninja2 4y ago
Well, scrum literally says that the team should have skills needed to get the job done, so you can still defend scrum, whereas agile says about putting people's interactions over processes and about pursuing technical excellence, so cr

by bladelessninja2 4y ago
One of the first things Scrum says is that you need to have a team with skills that ensures the job done. Same with Agile: literally says about "motivated individuals" and "self-organizing teams". So, arguably, you are n

by bladelessninja2 4y ago
Exactly. I saw employees who said they have Agile implemented, but for example they were too weak to speak up, take responsibility and pursuit technical excellence. Same with managers: they say they are Agile, but trusting your employees th

by bladelessninja2 4y ago
Just like there are companies who say they are Agile, but they are not, there are teams who think they have Scrum, but it is not Scrum. If you say that Scrum encourages tech debt and you had no autonomy then probably it wasn't Scrum. T

To make things even worse I also recently (v. 9.11.0) found Postman process hanging on in my memory after I close it. This behavior isn't bad on its own, the problem is that after few days (of not using the app at all) it ended up eati

I agree, on what you working and with whom you are working is far more important. I would even argue, that for a experienced software developer getting fluent with new technology is quite fast while getting to the bottom of domain in which

You basically said is equivalent to statement that computer software is just a bunch of ones and zeros and everyone has access to ones and zeros for free. But at some point it stops being just chain of ones and zeros and becomes meaningful

That's somehow naive statement. There is a difference between getting full information just with one query and building complicated fail-prune system for weeks/months to analyze data.

Yeah, I would like to see them to, especially when I see something like this: > When we benchmarked JDK 15, we saw that Java 15 was 11.24% faster than Java 11. Now, the gain of Java 17 over Java 11 is less. Does that mean that Java 17 is

I agree, trafficking is marginal problem nowadays, except maybe children trafficking, but this is totally different story. Prostitution today is a choice and, in developed countries, does not even have that much social stigma.

From my experience, I can say there are 3 types of managers: - with little or no programming knowledge - with moderate programming knowledge (they used to be developers long time ago) - with excellent programming knowledge (they recently sw
