I didn´t meant Gates or Jobs rich but wealthier than average. For them an startup is just a gamble they can afford to do comfortably. For example: a couple of months ago I talked to a guy that was trying to decide between founding an startu

We hate Scrum, not Agile, and we hate it because: #It gives management an easy chance to be abusive. Management abuse seems to be the norm with Scrum, not the exception. #The methodology does not take this problem into account. The common

Would you mind putting in concrete examples the sentence "most Americans do not live in areas where you could reasonably live without a car". It's not a critique, I'm not american so I don't understand how could thi

But then, are some of these things really needed? I don't have a car, I have a basic smartphone, and old basic laptop, not much in terms of clothes, and I don't travel abroad for holidays (all this because I cannot afford somethin

Not every programmer does his/hers best working remote and communicating through slack/skype meetings. People have different personality traits. The remote devs in your volunteer projects were probably self-selecting. Also, some d

You have to take into account the loss due to the lack of in-person contact with their cared ones.

There are three parts involved in any project. The product, the process and the people. As it currently stands scrum does not make any provision to address the people. Hence management uses this void to turn scrum into scrum butt and turn t

Things are not changing that much faster. What changed was the business model of software companies. In a distant world the tools took years of closed work to get to version 1 and version 2/3/4 each took a couple of years too. And

is there a chronic shortage of developers interested in systems programming? I believe most programmers prefer to do systems programming instead of business apps.

Some people prefer to contemplate and accept. Some people prefer to fight hard until the end. Who are we to decide how people are supposed to live, or die?

I don't disagree with you about the fundamentals, but my experience does not match yours. i.e: I'm good at the fundamentals and have more than 20 years of experience, but I was hopeless job wise until I found an employer that need

I agree with you on hiring people that know what they are doing instead of people that just know how to use the flavor of the month. Sadly, my experience, at least as a candidate, is the opposite of yours. But I'm in a country where mo

It sounds good...in theory. In reality if you are not up to the latest or so, you wont get a job unless you have a contact with a lot to say in the hiring process or you are an expert in some rare domain. The author's conclusion is a c

As other people stated: they build standing from the shoulder of the giants. And even if they had started from zero, these guys are the exception, not the norm. We can find 20 year-old geniuses in every camp.

The title is wrong. It should have been: How Intelligent People Sabotage Their Success. But is all filler anyway. Current western societies are amoral. So dumb vs intelligent is out of the question. If you don't have any regrets about

Just history repeating itself. They are rediscovering the PMI ad-hoc. Not because the Agile ideas weren't better but because human and hence organisational dynamics still are and will be the same. No surprise then, that as Agilists are

It's not capitalism. It's greediness. Most resources are abused not because they need to be abused to progress but because some CEO or investor somewhere is not satisfied with a 100% profit, he wants more. Resource abuse also happ

Small talk it's not just chit chat, it's also a social regulator, at least here in Argentina. It is used a cue of respect and interest but also of disregard and rejection. How do the Finns cue interest in others, how do they cue r

My best strategy is to avoid the distractions from the get go. I don't browse the web until I finish my workday. If I need to look up something (which must be work related) I just browse the minimum needed to get the answer. I don&#x2
