#1 is I think often the biggest issue, or rather a direct easy to spot symptom of the central issue which is that "agile" is just blanket applied as a development methodology to everything, including many projects that have no bus

This is also why I never started a blog, and don’t maintain any social media accounts. Participating in forums like this already drives some self-obsessive behavior (watching for upvotes and proverbial nodding heads), but a pulpit I fear wo

Well "almost always" is a step in the right direction, though I'd say is still a tad too strong. Probably favorable working conditions are reliably improved by unions, but there are also probably reliably less jobs to go arou

I would imagine it's dependent on the specifics of the agreement, but as I understand it yes it would not be at all uncommon for the union to have incentive to stipulate members cannot negotiate outside of the union terms.

That is clearly too broad a brush. Collective bargaining is useful if your needs are aligned with the collective, if not they may be at best unhelpful and at worst actively counter productive (for instance if you have some personal circumst

Personally I’d much rather work with Flutter than RN. The tooling and general developer experience I find to be far superior. But of course the primary advantage of RN is the ecosystem of developers and libraries it comes with, so if those

If the worst happens all the money in the world won’t save you. No one can predict the future, including you, and if the future is doomed your time is far more precious than your money. Times always seem uncertain to those living in them, e

I too lament some of the homogeneity of culture brought about by globalization. But I think the benefits are well worth it. Indeed in the future I would expect (or hope) for people to feel as though they are world citizens, and never feel t

Big cities are by nature cosmopolitan, it’s very strange to say only some people “belong” and others don’t. Would you prefer the world isolate into pockets of belonging based on generational inheritance as it has been and we crank back glob

Let's try and refrain from strong language such as "delusional" and "unarguably," we'll likely find more to agree on if we do. But yes, I agree a hospital overloading is a crisis for those providing or seeking

I don’t know, I think it depends on how you qualify crisis, and what you deem as an appropriate response. If we’re trading anecdotes I don’t personally know anyone who has died or even been hospitalized with COVID. I know people who know pe

Yeah Residence Inn is the most common one I look for as well of this type, though they're not all like this, and the ones that are often aren't price or review competitive, thus it rarely wins out. I do definitely look down these

Yeah I've tried that route but the lack of reviews and difficulty finding usually ends up not working out. Sonder has expanded, but has fairly mixed reviews whenever I chase them down. It does seem promising though so I do continue to

Someone can correct me if I’m mistaken, but you should be fine with most parts for most Linux builds. The main thing I would say is if you go with a dedicated graphics card go with Nvidia as their driver support is much better (though I’ve
