Yeah exactly. I noticed Claude start doing exactly this a month ago too. It recursively breaks problems down while allowing you to either change direction at each level or keep going. This is where claude jumped up to be legitimately better

Yeah LLMs ingest all 4 and can conversationally give you all 4. I suppose it’s orthogonal.

Yeah “how this logic flaw occurred” is the wrong question. How a common bug was rolled out globally with no controls, testing, or rollback strategy is the right question

Page wont load for me. BUT, this title is the first sensible thing I’ve heard someone say about Agile in 10 years. I just don’t use the word Agile. Too many people like it for the wrong reasons, or hate it for the wrong reasons. Everyone ha

I feel like there are some very precise ways to think about these things. For example, a backlog is a priority queue. A priority queue can only be long if work is added more frequently than it is removed. Work can be removed if it is either

I love this, but Im using DataSpell from JetBrains at the moment because it has 2 killer features: 1. Variable viewer so I can see the current value of all variables in scope. 2. Interactive debugger Maybe the variable vi

Not trying to be cheeky, but why not c#? Has pts 2, 3 and 4. For pt 1, what in Rusts type system are you looking for?

I think the whole chart was made in a drawing program like MS paint or Visio. The spacing between the columns isn’t quite even as would be the case with any software charting library, especially noticeable for the gaps left and right of the

This feels like the wrong way to think about tailwind. Every other UI framework or library that I’ve used felt like leaky abstractions. You always have to learn both how the library works AND how css works. Tailwind isn’t even an abstractio

When I read it, I see a devastating critique of SAFe from every big name I trust in the Agile space. I would never recommend SAFe. But no-one is asking me… How would a potential customer of SAFe see it? Right now somewhere in the world ther

This is a tough tough situation. There are no easy answers or quick wins here. So before we even think about code, let's ask some questions... 1) You said you can't manage this team directly. Is it your responsibility to make this

Hello, author here. Congrats on having such a successful app. Funnily enough, I actually wrote this post because if you had asked me about cross platform web apps 6 months ago I would have said the exact same thing you just said. In 2014 I&

Author here, just wanted to say thanks for making Capacitor. It's been an absolute pleasure to use. Something about the plugin architecture just really clicked for me. I hope I wasn't too negative about Ionic at the start of the p

Hi, author here. Yeah that's a great point. With Capacitor when the browser crashes you just get this white screen and it wouldn't get picked up as an exception by iOS and reported on the App Store. I ended up having to add in cus

Hey, author here. Yeah you make a really good point, if I had to start an app today where the visual design was pretty close to the default iOS and Android styles that would definitely be a factor. Funnily enough though (and this might just

This article is great but missing the best solution to requirements capture: being a user. When you are a user of your own product it sidesteps miscommunication, misunderstanding and the 1000 little decisions you make every day while you co

Yeah I think we actually agree, that’s why I said it’s a valid approach “sometimes”. Like any tool, Lean Startup MVPs aren’t the right tool for every situation. You need extreme uncertainty. If you’re a FAANG and you’re releasing a new vers

I think there’s two kinds of MVP in common use and they’re both valid tools in specific situations. In Lean Startup, Eric Ries argues that if your business has giant unknowns. Big leap of faith assumptions. Then you’re best off using the sc
