A network of current and ex-co-workers is valuable. The point I was trying to make was that a person shouldn't stay in a position solely out of a sense of comradery or loyalty to one's co-workers.

You are a mercenary. * Loyalty does not exist (company, coworkers, etc) * You dictate pay for the work you do (or leave the job) * You dictate your own hours (overtime is your own choice not company's) * Strive to always prov

I'm not surprised, I see "rigid scrum" as an oxymoron.

Anecdotally, I've experienced the exact opposite. The company I work with had been doing waterfall development for 15+ years. We switched to agile using the Scrum framework. It wasn't smooth sailing the entire way, there were te

I mostly agree with this perspective. Alternative agile methodologies may fit better with certain teams (e.g. Kanban, lean, etc) and so having a top down prescriptive method of "agile" doesn't make sense. Another perspectiv

A "scrum course" is to Scrum what a code boot camp is to programming. You're going to learn basics but you won't have the depth of knowledge to handle complexity in any form, nor how to answer questions about Scrum that

This was how you could get rich. Maybe I'm overly cynical, but I feel that these days VC and founders know all the right tricks to play to remove value from the contributors and reallocate it to the investors.

This was the way back in the early 2000s. We also had auto boot USB keys that upon boot would format the main drive and start listening for the Ghost server to send a command to image the drive. I was often amazed at how quickly you could f

While it's not as drastic a handoff, handing code from your present self to your future self is also important. I find myself thanking my past self out loud and by name at times.

This is absolutely ridiculous. The code is the product, without it, the company is out revenue the entire time that the application is being re-written to match the tests.

Yes, 100%. A salesperson on commission does not care about the long-term maintenance costs of a decision of this nature. And I don't blame them, it's not something they should care about. A product owner? They may care if they&#
