If you want to fix these issues in the context of Scrum I suggest J. Coplien's "A Scrum Book". Or you can just read the patterns here: https://sites.google.com/a/scrumplop.org/published-patterns&#x2F

I just read the entire Twitter thread. What a Kafkaesque nightmare.

Maybe the word 'tool' is just not adequate and there is no 1 to 1 equivalence here. If you come from woodworking, the saw or drill doesn't end up being part of the table you build whereas the framework code is part of the act

I'm not entirely disagreeing with you, but there are many great web apps, or not? Google Maps, Docs, Sheets and Slides - they all kind of work without being super horrible? It's not like most desktop apps are these great beacons o

by kitsune_ 4y ago
Agreed. Most web apps are perfectly fine and can be phenomenal, especially when compared to what we all did back in the 90's on GeoCitites. And as you rightly point out, visit a recipe site, especially on mobile, in comparison.

These analogies really only go so far. Let's do the music one: how an instrument feels (to you) is intricately linked with how well you can express yourself musically. I guess there are two different view points here, those who think t

Yeah but line formatting usually includes white space indentation in the calculation of the line length, I don't know whether you can 1:1 translate findings from normal text paragraphs like that. With linted code the actual relevant l

Yes, but cultural understanding still trumps this, at least according to some experts, case in point, François Desset has recently deciphered a 4,400 year old Iranian writing system (Linear Elamite) and this is his take on it: > FD: This

Well, yeah, sure. But that's not what I meant. The "Optimize for finishing work before starting new work" could be such a heuristic. Contrast two positives with an "even over" statement. If you have heuristics such

I think most of the work stream principles outlined in the article are sound, however, in my view having a manager dictate finely detailed priorities is in most situations an anti-pattern and a Taylorist trap. In my experience, heuristics t

Stupid question, but what international treaties currently regulate private citizens and corporations when it comes to space? Like, who can claim which orbits? Is this just first come, first serve? What would happen if someone crashes Starl

There are crypto currencies by actual computer scientists, like Algorand by Silvio Micali, that seem to be much further ahead than others when it comes to low-emissions proof-of-stake implementations. In Algorand's case, they even offs

Let's ignore the fact that uranium is a finite resource and that existing reactors have EOL dates and assume that the west, India and the rest of the world matches China and the world collectively build 600 reactors in the next 15 year

We can't build reactors fast enough. And electricity is only a part of what generates emissions. It's no where close to a solution. Looking up the world's energy numbers, how much of total energy production and emissions are

As much as I dislike Facebook, my father died yesterday and listening to some of the relatively unknown folk musicians that he had shared on there over the years meant a lot to me today.

GitHub / NPM / Twitter together with the conference scene seem to be leading to some form of insta-gramification of open source and programming in general it seems. Edit: Maybe HN is to blame as well.
