So the widespread existence of business programs, certification and training heavy, obviously proves every project and business methodology is “bad” and the problem is the tool of “business methodologies”? PRINCE2, for example, is constantl

No, “it’s” adaptive and if you’re not adaptive then you’re quite literally not doing “it”. Adaptive methods aren’t something unique to Agile, it’s an aspect found in basic business methodologies and processes. Very basic, textbook stuff. So

The candies aren’t trying to look artisanal, they’re trying to match training data marketed and labelled by companies as artisanal. Rustic, homemade, amateur, etc might align better with the tagging.

LLMs are the insensitive Asmovian robots I’ve always wanted, who translate and do the hardest part of my job: ensuring my emails are polite and none of my true thoughts or feelings are revealed… Now I just need a way to protect my chats fro

We have that expression “garbage in, garbage out. My sense is that doctors and AI would be doing a lot better if they were just doing medicine, not being a contact surface for failures of housing, mental health and addiction services, and

I’ve owned some trivially small businesses, and something I think is missing in the discussion is how quickly people’s presumptuous bullshit has me on the phone burning time-money. They think I’m rude, it’s them though, and their sloppy sal

Outcompeting includes murder, rape, war, and cannibalism. But we have population overlap for millennia, so that’s kinda factored into numbers. All primates are resource competing, so outcompeting is also drinking up their milkshakes. But, a

There are middle-ways. Behaviour Driven Development or Spec Driven Development are, loosely, forms of Test Driven Development where you encode the specification into the code base. No impedance, full insight, formality through code. I think

And categorically: the issue isn’t what “I’d” do, my habits often match my habits, it’s what other project members will be doing (including future degenerate versions of myself assumed to be some combination of busy, tired, stressed and dru

As an MS dev at the time: MS missed The Web and Mobile, thinking Office would be enough. Everything since is catchup. On the one hand MS was a web pioneer — asynchronous web calls and ActiveX technologies that were surprisingly capable — bu

It’s the same dilemma as old: it’s easier to teach a doctor UML than a coder Doctoring. But, critically, that’s about making doctor-facing IT systems not performing their skilled jobs. Bringing code does not help, but a validated user story

I agree, in the general context of how I code. The LLM hype train has me reflecting on what a spoiled existence working in a ‘proper’ language provides though… React devs, JS devs, front-end devs working on large sites and frameworks might

When you mention it, providing superlative front line customer support sounds like a perfect fit for organizations selling “AI” solutions… Some big tech companies should get right on that. <ahem>

Implying that MS would crater an org like GitHub within a few years is ascribing fundamental incompetence to a provably competent acquirer. Hanlon’s razor is precluded from use if there is contradictory logic. GitHub’s mandated transfer to

Are we stoping too early in this analysis though? Google versus OpenAI and Anthropic, sure, but Microsoft is deep into OpenAI. Google helping Anthropic is also putting MS into a corner (one that may even be shrinking? Copilot and openAI fin
