Commit to deliver only one thing in a weekly long sprint. Insist on written specifications prior to acceptance into a sprint, including finalised wireframes. Expand from there.

I work with Indian delivery teams on a regular basis and I think focus on things like frugality, which certainly exists, comes at a terrifying price on terms of lack of long term quality and security issues. I've seen the same approac

Definitely an HN favorite - but has something changed lately for you to post this now?

More likely is that the cost of loss to theft is offset by the lack of costs for on-site staff and the general profit margin. A lot of retail park stores understaff security because the margins are big enough to accommodate quite a lot of

In the UK we already have sufficient identification for all purposes, we don't need more. I also have experience of the current identify systems and they do not unify identities as well as you think they do, and any attempt to do so h

Jira totally removes the fluidity in the software development process, I've stopped using it altogether and now rely on Google Docs and Sheets.

If you're emailing links to Google docs and you expect them to last for 5 years then you're doing it all wrong. Google Docs are great for collaboration, authoring, review, publication, but durable publication or archiving is a di

I'm not sure why the biggest benefit of UBI is not promoted, in that it dramatically reduces the cost of providing state benefits? No more big IT companies changing crappy old systems to meet new requirements. Just a cheque once a mon

This. Jira used to be famous for it's ease of use and fantastic cross linking between artifacts, but now it's always just very slow.

Seriously this has to stop, all you need is Zotero, Zim and Freemind. Formal research, desktop note taking and file organisation, mind mapping. These tools are reputable, well supported, play well with any file sync service and will be ar

I take issue with your framing of the police as criminals because it misses the point; the police are not criminals, the law and the legal establishment fully supports their actions. Those actions are institutionally racist as they are int

Isn't this basically a very slightly slicker version of Zim desktop wiki? Zim is based on plain text files, has links, to-dos, backlink pane etc. Oh, and it's Foss.
