These examples could both be much better IMHO with a top comment block that describes the purpose of the functionality and shows good usage examples. Something like this below, and ideally using runnable doc comments to help keep the commen

Great project. Want to contact me when you'd like to talk? I do software engineering for clinicians at a health care organization, and I'd love to have my teams try your work in their own contexts. Email joel@joelparkerhenderson.c

I worked at Sun and had the ring. We had a great demo where you could walk along a row of Sun workstations, and your X session would move with you, leaping from monitor to monitor, keeping pace with you. The idea at the time was "The N

Yes small features help enormously. I've used ROPE and work breakdown structures (WBS) to estimate multiple projects at thousands of staff hours to under 4% of actual. The ROPE advantage is that it uses multiple perspectives, which get

Yes except in practice it's worked out more like this... Realistic is favored by tech teams. Optimistic is favored by salespeople and marketers. Pessimistic is favored by lawyers and compliance people. Equilibristic is favored by proje

Yes you're correct. PERT 3-point was my starting point and I wanted to add a critical chain 50% estimate. BTW the SixArm name and ROPE is merely my personal work. Way back when, I had to put on the trademark because someone else said m

Critical chain planning has a purpose for the 50%. It's not perfect-- but it's better than other ways, in my experience. Wikipedia: "The justification for using the 50% estimates is that half of the tasks will finish early an

When teams don't need strong estimates, then Kanban works well. When teams do need strong estimates, then the best way I know is doing a project management ROPE estimate, which uses multiple perspectives to improve the planning. https

When you're ready with Aidlab 2, can you contact me? I work for a national health service and I'm keen to learn more, buy, and generate some public anonymized data sets. joel@joelparkerhenderson.com. Thanks and good work! <3

Devices sending data that is anonymized, encrypted, and signed by the device is a must-have for some medical studies. For example, imagine a medical study that looks at heart rate variability versus an intervention. The data analysts won&#x

I have 1000 or so free open source repos that include a bunch of tiny software demo projects and technical tutorials. I'm exploring Codeberg to understand more about how it works, how easy it is to migrate repos, what options are possi

You're 100% right IMHO about the convergence of powerful CI pipelines and full build systems. I'm very curious what you'll think if you try Dagger, which is my tool of choice for programming the convergence of CI and build sy

Good point. We do use the existing GOV.UK design system, because it's the basis for the NHS.UK design system. Broadly, there are medical-related design aspects that use specific system quality attributes processes such as clinical comp

Yes with a twist: the French government design system is purposefully reserved for the use of French government websites. I believe that a great design system will be flexible and more akin to user principles first, then implementation inte

Rust macros have so much power, yet with complexity to learn and use. IMHO your derive-deftly is finding a good balance between the power and complexity-- it's pragmatic and immediately useful. This is excellent that you're creati
