Every time I've tried either selling something or giving something away, I came away finding that the hassle was totally not worth the time. Which obviously is easy to happen with giving something away. But even when selling, if for in

This is all true. Though my recollection at the time was that the original platonic ideal was that both the scrum master and product owner were at least peers, if not devs on the team. Especially the SM. But it didn't take long for the

The beautiful thing about being an early bird is you don't need to "show up too early". You just hang out until you're exactly on time and then show up. There is no analogue for the late person.

Yes. And even as someone who tries to live by the ethos "if you're on time, you're late", I wind up late sometimes. It stresses me out, but hey sometimes shit happens. But there are people where shit seems to happen more

Exactly, yes we agree. It's why I think the debate is inane from both angles. CICO is both true and yet not useful.

Your example is the oversimplification that causes people to disbelieve CICO. In your example the body adjusted and the CO wasn't stable. CICO still holds, the flaw is the person assuming their CO was stable. People who staunchly suppo

I really keep trying to replace Jetbrains with VSCode, and I keep going back. VSCode is just so deficient in comparison in ways on which I depend. But yes, Jetbrains keeps making that statement harder and harder to make for me
